/**
 * A base runtime processing exception.
 *
 * The exception of this type is thrown during HTTP request or response processing,
 * to signal a runtime processing failure. Typical classes of failures covered by
 * {@code ProcessingException} include
 * <ul>
 * <li>failures in filter or interceptor chain execution,</li>
 * <li>errors caused by missing message body readers or writers for the particular Java type
 * and media type combinations,</li>
 * <li>propagated {@link java.io.IOException IO exceptions} thrown by
 * entity {@link javax.ws.rs.ext.MessageBodyReader readers} and {@link javax.ws.rs.ext.MessageBodyWriter writers}
 * during entity serialization and de-serialization.</li>
 * </ul>
 * as well as any other runtime processing errors.
 * The exception message or nested {@link Throwable}
 * cause SHOULD contain additional information about the reason of the processing
 * failure.
 * <p>
 * Note that the exception is used to indicate (internal) processing errors.
 * It is not used to indicate HTTP error response states. A HTTP error response is
 * represented by a {@link javax.ws.rs.WebApplicationException} class or one of it's
 * sub-classes.
 * </p>
