Spring MVC Beginner’s Guide

Working with HandlerExceptionResolver

Spring MVC provides several approaches to exception handling. In Spring, one of the main exception handling constructs is the HandlerExceptionResolver (org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerExceptionResolver) interface. Any objects that implement this interface can resolve exceptions thrown during Controller mapping or execution. HandlerExceptionResolver implementers are typically registered as beans in the web application context.

Spring MVC creates two such HandlerExceptionResolver implementations by default to facilitate exception handling:

• ResponseStatusExceptionResolver is created to support the @ResponseStatus annotation

• ExceptionHandlerExceptionResolver is created to support the @ExceptionHandler annotation ...
