Here is a programmatic solution in dropwizard 0.8:

public void run(final MyConfiguration config, final Environment env) {
    AbstractServerFactory sf = (AbstractServerFactory) config.getServerFactory();
    // disable all default exception mappers
    sf.setRegisterDefaultExceptionMappers(false);
    // register your own ConstraintViolationException mapper
    env.jersey().register(MyConstraintViolationExceptionMapper.class)
    // restore other default exception mappers
    env.jersey().register(new LoggingExceptionMapper() {});
    env.jersey().register(new JsonProcessingExceptionMapper());
    env.jersey().register(new EarlyEofExceptionMapper());
} 

I think it's more reliable than a config file. And as you can see it also enables back all other default exception mappers.
