In Spring 3 is it possible to dynamically set the reason of @ResponseStatus?

Question

I have a custom exception class annotated to return a given HttpStatus:

@ResponseStatus(value=HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST, reason=\"Invalid parameter\")

Since spring 5.0, you can use the ResponseStatusException which is available

// From https://www.baeldung.com/spring-response-status-exception
@GetMapping("/actor/{id}")
public String getActorName(@PathVariable("id") int id) {
    try {
        return actorService.getActor(id);
    } catch (ActorNotFoundException ex) {
        throw new ResponseStatusException(
          HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND, "Actor Not Found", ex);
    }
}
