How can I get rid of ResteasyViolationExceptionMapper?

I'm using JBoss EAP which contains RESTeasy as JAX-RS implementation. I want to have an ExceptionMapper<Exception> where I can map all exceptions coming from our REST services in one central place.

However, when validating the method parameters with Bean Validation, my ExceptionMapper<Exception> is ignored, since ResteasyViolationExceptionMapper kicks in.

Other than creating another ExceptionMapper<ConstraintViolationException> and duplicating my code... is there any way to suppress ResteasyViolationExceptionMapper?

Solution

  • Well, after a lot of searching I found a possibility to disable that ExceptionMapper in web.xml

    <web-app>

  <context-param>
    <param-name>resteasy.disable.providers</param-name>
    <param-value>org.jboss.resteasy.api.validation.ResteasyViolationExceptionMapper</param-value>
  </context-param>

</web-app>
