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

Hi Yonghee,

thanks for raising this. I have created resteasy jira for this problem - https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RESTEASY-1507.

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

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. 
Yonghee
