How do i catch bad URL requests using REST easy

Question

I have a few endpoints under "/rest/role/"whatever"

how do i catch bad requests for example "rest/role/dbbhwbhb/wdwdwed

if i use :

    @GET
    @Path("/{param}")
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public Response badURLS() {
        return Response.ok().entity("bad url").build();
    }

this catches rest/roles/dfsdfsds but rest/roles/sdsasd/asdad is still not caught. How do I set up a method so if none of my endpoints are hit then return a default message ?

JBoss approach

• https://docs.jboss.org/jbportal/v2.7.0.B1/referenceGuide/html/errorhandling.html

RESTeasy approach

• https://docs.jboss.org/resteasy/docs/2.2.0.GA/userguide/html/ExceptionHandling.html

EDIT

As I sent to you before - second link does the trick.

Given the mapper and structure written in such way:

package atata;

import javax.ws.rs.NotFoundException;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.ExceptionMapper;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.Provider;

@Provider
public class _404Handler implements ExceptionMapper<NotFoundException> {

    public Response toResponse(NotFoundException exception) {
        return Response.status(500).entity(new ResponseEntity(333, "Got 404.")).type(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).build();
    }

}

Config

package atata;

import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;

import javax.ws.rs.core.Application;


public class EmployeeApplication extends Application {

    private Set<Object> singletons = new HashSet<Object>();

    public EmployeeApplication() {
        singletons.add(new MessageRestService());
        singletons.add(new _404Handler());
    }

    @Override
    public Set<Object> getSingletons() {
        return singletons;
    }

}

Endpoint:

package atata;

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;

@Path("/roles")
public class MessageRestService {

    @GET
    @Path("/1")
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Response badURLS() {
        return Response.ok().entity("OK").build();
    }

}

You will get
