Hi,
I've run into a case where an IllegalArgumentException is being generated
from JAXB when Jersey is unmarshalling an XML request. The call stack is
pasted at the end of this email. Although I'm not 100% sure, I believe the
problem was caused by the client passing "{3}" as the value for a boolean
XML attribute. I.e., a bug in the client code.
My problem is that although I have implemented an ExceptionMapper to deal
with exceptions, it is difficult at that level in the code to interpret
IllegalArgumentException and to generate a proper response back to the
client. Shouldn't Jersey catch this exception and wrap it in a
WebApplicationException so an ExceptionMapper can have more context?
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: String "{3}" is not valid boolean value.
