Hi,
I'm not a member of the mailing list, so please let me know if you let this message through.
Somehow I stumbled across this thread on markmail tonight and wanted to comment:

One practical problem I've seen is that real world systems don't always return errors in the same format as requested by the client (assuming the app developer requested anything at all, again common). Simple example - tomcat/jetty throwing up html error pages. We can argue this is quality problem with the server but it's ugly on clients when it happens and the entity binding blows up. I'd like to see something that echoes the exception mapper on the server side of JAX-RS. Another possibility is allocating handlers onto response codes.
This issue came up in GlassFish/Jersey in January 2010 and I started a long forum thread about it:
It resulted in changes to both Jersey and GlassFish:

I thought you may be interested in this information when designing the feature.
I was developing a GlassFish/Jersey/JAX-RS service for consumption by a BlackBerry app. A separate issue I ran into is that all traffic is proxied through RIM and they totally ruin the headers and error responses. Plus certain HTTP methods are not supported. Maybe look into that a bit more and see if there's anything that can be done so we could design and code the RESTful web service "the right way", but at the same time support mental clients like BlackBerry. Maybe this is possible already... I haven't touched JAX-RS since February or March.
Thanks, Ryan
