Unique constraint error with jpa

[Maria Michael]

I am currently stuck with this problem and I hope someone can assist.

My db is in SQL Server. I have certain uniqueness constraints on my tables.
When the entity manager persists it returns correctly the exception

Exception [EclipseLink-4002] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.3.0.v20110604-r9504): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DatabaseException
Internal Exception: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'UN_PERSONTBL_PASSP'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.PERSONTBL'.


Now I need a user friendly error message but I ca;t find a way to automate this other than doing string manipulation.

thanks.
