I have a JAX-RS service using Jersey and MOXy. I have a handler that returns the JSON or XML (depending on the Accept: header) representation of a type Memo, but if the item is not found, it should return a 404 error with the JSON or XML representation of a different type MemoError.
With Accept: application/json it's working correctly in the first case (returning Memo), but not in the second (throwing WebApplicationException with MemoError entity).
If I change my handler to return a MemoError, the second case does work (but the first one doesn't, obviously).
It also works correctly in both cases with Accept: application/xml (using the default JAXB implementation), so I think the issue is with MOXy.
the handler:
@Path("{id}")
@GET
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML })
public Memo getMemo(@PathParam("id") long id) {
Memo memo = memoService.getMemo(id);
if (memo == null) {
throw new WebApplicationException(Response
.status(Response.Status.NOT_FOUND)
.entity(new MemoError(4, "Not found")).build());
}
return memo;
}
MemoError:
@XmlRootElement(name = "error")
public class MemoError {
private int code;
private String message;
public MemoError() {
}
public MemoError(int code, String message) {
this.code = code;
this.message = message;
}
public int getCode() {
return code;
}
public void setCode(int code) {
this.code = code;
}
public String getMessage() {
return message;
}
public void setMessage(String message) {
this.message = message;
}
}

Exception Description: A descriptor for class my.package.MemoError was not found in the project. For JAXB, if the JAXBContext was bootstrapped using TypeMappingInfo[] you must call a marshal method that accepts TypeMappingInfo as an input parameter.

You could add @XmlSeeAlso({MemoError.class}) on the Memo class.
