Determine whether this provider is able to process a supplied exception instance.
 This method is called only on those exception mapping providers that are able to process the type of the exception as defined by the JAX-RS ExceptionMapper contract. By returning false this method can reject any given exception instance and change the default JAX-RS exception mapper selection behaviour. 
Params:
exception – exception instance which should be processed.
Returns:
true if the mapper is able to map the particular exception instance, false otherwise./**
