Hi Behrooz,
I am not pretending it is a best practice, but you should be able to capture
your exception with a WriterInterceptor:
public class ExceptionInterceptor implements WriterInterceptor {
  @Override
  public void aroudWriteTo(WriterInterceptorContext ctx) {
    try {
      ctx.proceed();
    } catch (WhateverYouNeedToIntercept e) {
         // TODO: process the exception
    }
  }
} 
The above should work as long as Jetty throws the exception upon a call to the underlying 
respose output stream,
