I'm aware of the issue of tag explosion that motivates the mapping of 404 responses to a single URI such as "not_found". However, there are two distinct cases where the JAX-RS response can be 404:
I argue only the first case applies to the tag explosion concern. The second case however is not different than matched resources yielding HTTP 400.
With the proposed change, the HTTP 404 responses emitted by Jersey apps can be more appropriately attributed to the originating resource.
