Hi,
404 status here is aligned with the JAX-RS specification. See section
3.3.2 (resource method parameters),
which refers to 3.2 (page 10):
"if the field or property is annotated
with @MatrixParam, @QueryParam or @PathParam then an implementation MUST
generate a Web-
ApplicationException that wraps the thrown exception with a not found
response (404 status) and no
entity;"
I.e. Jersey just sticks with JSR-311 when returning 404.
