Description

If a wrong date is given as param, the type is a JSR 310 Datatype and an XmlAdapter is used, it will result in a ClassCastException. Moreover the catch block in org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.JAXBUtils.useAdapter logs using ex.printStackTrace(). I created a testcase in org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.InjectionUtilsTest#testJsr310DateExceptionHandling.

In my view it should end up in IllegalArgumentException/ createParamConversionException as for other invalid params.

General question: Since CXF 3.2 depends on Java 8 do we want to make JSR 310 handling more convenient so that XmlAdapter stuff is no longer required?
