Suggestion: Java standard for problem details [rfc-7807]

[t1]

I’d like to contribute a standard for better generation and handling of http message bodies for application error conditions. I’ve just blogged about it: https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2020/01/rfc-7807-problem-details-with-spring-boot-and-jax-rs/

tl;dr: exceptions get mapped to rfc-7807 compliant application/problem+json http bodies on the server side and/or back to exceptions on the client side. You can rely on useful defaults for the fields or annotate your exceptions when you have specific requirements.

I have a potential implementation here that runs on Payara and Open Liberty, and mostly on Widlfly 18... and on Spring Boot.

So the code is there, and I'm working on the spec text.

What do you say?

Have you suggested this to Jakarta RESTful Web Services spec? From a quick look through it appears more appropriate as additions there.

Could you post details of this and a link to the PR to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/microprofile for wider discussion? Thanks
