Major Description
Section 2.4.3
An implementation MUST catch WebApplicationException and map it to a response. If the response
property of the exception is not null then it MUST be used to create the response. If the response
property of the exception is null an implementation MUST generate a server error response.
An implementation MUST allow other runtime exceptions to propagate to the underlying container. This
allows existing container facilities (e.g. a Servlet filter) to be used to handle the error if desired.
Editors Note 2.2 What to do about checked exceptions ? If we allow them on resource methods then do
we need some standard runtime exception that can be used to wrap the checked exception so it can be
propagated to the container in a standard way ?
