/**
* Get an exception mapping provider for a particular exception instance.
*
* This method is similar to method {@link #find(Class)}. In addition it takes
* into an account the result of the {@link ExtendedExceptionMapper#isMappable(Throwable)}
* of any mapper that implements Jersey {@link ExtendedExceptionMapper} API.
* If an extended exception mapper returns {@code false} from {@code isMappable(Throwable)},
* the mapper is disregarded from the search.
* Exception mapping providers are checked one by one until a first provider returns
* {@code true} from the {@code isMappable(Throwable)} method or until a first provider
* is found which best supports the exception type and does not implement {@code ExtendedExceptionMapper}
* API (i.e. it is a standard JAX-RS {@link ExceptionMapper}). The order in which the providers are
* checked is determined by the distance of the declared exception mapper type and the actual exception
* type.
*
*
* Note that if an exception mapping provider does not implement {@link ExtendedExceptionMapper}
* it is always considered applicable for a given exception instance.
*
*
* @param exceptionInstance exception to be handled by the exception mapping provider.
* @param type of the exception handled by the exception mapping provider.
* @return an {@link ExceptionMapper} for the supplied exception instance type or {@code null} if none
