Can you say a bit more about what you are trying to achieve. Only
certain exceptions are required to be processed by exception mappers:
- those thrown by a resource method
- those thrown by a provider method
- those thrown by the ctor or valueOf method of a resource field,
property or method parameter
It sounds like you want to be able to distinguish between say an
IllegalArgumentException thrown by UriBuilder vs one thrown by some
other API that a resource method uses but I'm struggling to see a use
case for that.
Thanks,
Marc.
