In my application I wanted to catch any unhandled exceptions from my JAX-RS methods to customize the response. So I created a class UnhandledExceptionMapper implements ExceptionMapper<Exception> and register it as a provider. This works fine, even my other providers with more specific exceptions are used in preference. However, the UnhandledExceptionMapper also is catching WebApplicationExceptions, even those thrown by CXF itself (such as what happens with invalid media type). How can I delegate to the default behavior in a standard JAX-RS way? Rethrowing the WebApplicationException doesn't work (it gets caught by the container)?
Right now my workaround is to instantiate directly a org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.impl.WebApplicationExceptionMapper in my mapper, and if the exception caught is a WebApplicationException, delegate to the CXF. But this is not "portable", and maybe I've missed other built-in exception handlers. Is there a way I can catch "all exceptions not handled by another exception mapper" so I catch things like NullPointerException, IllegalArgumentException, etc. but not catch ones otherwise handled?
