Issue

When client application tries to access a resource that doesn't exist in my JAX-RS application, the default RESTEasy page is returned:

<html><head><title>JBoss Web/7.2.2.Final-redhat-1 - JBWEB000064: Error report</title><style><!--H1 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:22px;} H2 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:16px;} H3 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:14px;} BODY {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:black;background-color:white;} B {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;} P {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;background:white;color:black;font-size:12px;}A {color : black;}A.name {color : black;}HR {color : #525D76;}--></style> </head><body><h1>JBWEB000065: HTTP Status 404 - Could not find resource for relative : /bluepr of full path: http://localhost:8080/app/nonexistingresource/</h1><HR size="1" noshade="noshade"><p><b>JBWEB000309: type</b> JBWEB000067: Status report</p><p><b>JBWEB000068: message</b> <u>Could not find resource for relative : /bluepr of full path: http://localhost:8080/v1/bluepr/</u></p><p><b>JBWEB000069: description</b> <u>JBWEB000124: The requested resource is not available.</u></p><HR size="1" noshade="noshade"><h3>JBoss Web/7.2.2.Final-redhat-1</h3></body></html>

How can we change the default response to return a custom content?
