Description

On row 411 of JAXRSUtils.java (in version 2.4.1) a WebApplicationException is thrown, because no operation could be matched for the incoming request. Right before this a nice error message is calculated and logged. This message is however not passed on into the exception that is thrown. The exception itself does not contain any information at all about why it was thrown. Why not add the error message into the WebApplicationException so that the caller can find out what was wrong with the request?
