[resteasy] Imprecise http status code when a requested media type is not available

[Yonghee Shin]

Hi,

When the requested media type in the "Accept" http header is not available
on the server side, currently http status 500  is returned instead of 406
(Not Acceptable).

I traced the code and a simple change below
in org.jboss.resteasy.springmvc.ResteasyHandlerMapping.getHandler(HttpServletRequest
request) made it return the proper code:


      catch (NotFoundException e)
      {
         if (throwNotFound)
         {
            throw e;
         }
         logger.error("Resource Not Found: " + e.getMessage(), e);
      }
      catch (NotAcceptableException na) { // Added this exception handler

          logger.error("Not acceptable: " + na.getMessage(), na);
          requestWrapper.setError(406, "The requested media type is not
acceptable.");
          return new HandlerExecutionChain(requestWrapper, interceptors);
      }
      catch (Failure e)

I'm using resteasy-spring-2.3.7.jar.
Is there any newer version that already addresses this issue or would it be
possible to enhance the code in the future release?

I appreciate your help.
