You should get UniformInterfaceException thrown on the client side
because the response status code is >= 300.
Could you add logging to your client so you can observer the responses
being received from the server to verify that the precondition status
code, 412, was being returned:
res.addFilter(new LoggingFilter());

The Jersey client API is not a RPC-type system where Java classes that
are exceptions are propagated from server to client. The exception you
threw on the server side will not be reproduced on the client side.
Your RestApplicationException is defining an *HTTP response* that will
be sent to the client and not an exception that will be propagated.
