Spring REST Error Handling Example

摘要: In this article, we will show you error handling in Spring Boot REST application.

In this article, we will show you error handling in Spring Boot REST application.

Technologies used :

  • Spring Boot 2.1.2.RELEASE
  • Spring 5.1.4.RELEASE
  • Maven 3
  • Java 8

1. /error

1.1 By default, Spring Boot provides a BasicErrorController controller for /error mapping that handles all errors, and getErrorAttributes to produce a JSON response with details of the error, the HTTP status, and the exception message.

{	
	"timestamp":"2019-02-27T04:03:52.398+0000",
	"status":500,
	"error":"Internal Server Error",
	"message":"...",
	"path":"/path"
BasicErrorController.java
package org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.servlet.error;
//...
@Controller
@RequestMapping("${server.error.path:${error.path:/error}}")
public class BasicErrorController extends AbstractErrorController {
	//...
	@RequestMapping
	public ResponseEntity<Map<String, Object>> error(HttpServletRequest request) {
		Map<String, Object> body = getErrorAttributes(request,
				isIncludeStackTrace(request, MediaType.ALL));
		HttpStatus status = getStatus(request);
		return new ResponseEntity<>(body, status);

In the IDE, puts a breakpoint in this method, you will understand how Spring Boot generates the default JSON error response.

2. Custom Exception

In Spring Boot, we can use @ControllerAdvice to handle custom exceptions.

2.1 A custom exception.

BookNotFoundException.java
package com.mkyong.error;
public class BookNotFoundException extends RuntimeException {
    public BookNotFoundException(Long id) {
        super("Book id not found : " + id);

A controller, if a book id is not found, throws the above BookNotFoundException

BookController.java
package com.mkyong;
//...
@RestController
public class BookController {
    @Autowired
    private BookRepository repository;
    // Find
    @GetMapping("/books/{id}")
    Book findOne(@PathVariable Long id) {
        return repository.findById(id)
                .orElseThrow(() -> new BookNotFoundException(id));
	//...

By default, Spring Boot generates the following JSON error response, http 500 error.

Terminal
curl localhost:8080/books/5
	"timestamp":"2019-02-27T04:03:52.398+0000",
	"status":500,
	"error":"Internal Server Error",
	"message":"Book id not found : 5",
	"path":"/books/5"

2.2 If a book id not found, it should return a 404 error instead of 500, we can override the status code like this :

CustomGlobalExceptionHandler.java
package com.mkyong.error;
import org.springframework.http.HttpHeaders;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.MethodArgumentNotValidException;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ControllerAdvice;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ExceptionHandler;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestControllerAdvice;
import org.springframework.web.context.request.WebRequest;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.ResponseEntityExceptionHandler;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.validation.ConstraintViolationException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
@ControllerAdvice
public class CustomGlobalExceptionHandler extends ResponseEntityExceptionHandler {
    // Let Spring BasicErrorController handle the exception, we just override the status code
    @ExceptionHandler(BookNotFoundException.class)
    public void springHandleNotFound(HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
        response.sendError(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND.value());
	//...

2.3 It returns a 404 now.

Terminal
curl localhost:8080/books/5
	"timestamp":"2019-02-27T04:21:17.740+0000",
	"status":404,
	"error":"Not Found",
	"message":"Book id not found : 5",
	"path":"/books/5"

2.4 Furthermore, we can customize the entire JSON error response :

CustomErrorResponse.java
package com.mkyong.error;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonFormat;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
public class CustomErrorResponse {
    @JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss")
    private LocalDateTime timestamp;
    private int status;
    private String error;
    //...getters setters
CustomGlobalExceptionHandler.java
package com.mkyong.error;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ControllerAdvice;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ExceptionHandler;
import org.springframework.web.context.request.WebRequest;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.ResponseEntityExceptionHandler;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
@ControllerAdvice
public class CustomGlobalExceptionHandler extends ResponseEntityExceptionHandler {
    @ExceptionHandler(BookNotFoundException.class)
    public ResponseEntity<CustomErrorResponse> customHandleNotFound(Exception ex, WebRequest request) {
        CustomErrorResponse errors = new CustomErrorResponse();
        errors.setTimestamp(LocalDateTime.now());
        errors.setError(ex.getMessage());
        errors.setStatus(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND.value());
        return new ResponseEntity<>(errors, HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);
	//...
Terminal
curl localhost:8080/books/5
	"timestamp":"2019-02-27 12:40:45",
	"status":404,
	"error":"Book id not found : 5"

3. JSR 303 Validation error

3.1 For Spring @valid validation errors, it will throw handleMethodArgumentNotValid

CustomGlobalExceptionHandler.java
package com.mkyong.error;
import org.springframework.http.HttpHeaders;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.MethodArgumentNotValidException;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ControllerAdvice;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ExceptionHandler;
import org.springframework.web.context.request.WebRequest;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.ResponseEntityExceptionHandler;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.validation.ConstraintViolationException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
@ControllerAdvice
public class CustomGlobalExceptionHandler extends ResponseEntityExceptionHandler {
    //...
    // @Validate For Validating Path Variables and Request Parameters
    @ExceptionHandler(ConstraintViolationException.class)
    public void constraintViolationException(HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
        response.sendError(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST.value());
    // error handle for @Valid
    @Override
    protected ResponseEntity<Object>
    handleMethodArgumentNotValid(MethodArgumentNotValidException ex,
                                 HttpHeaders headers,
                                 HttpStatus status, WebRequest request) {
        Map<String, Object> body = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        body.put("timestamp", new Date());
        body.put("status", status.value());
        //Get all fields errors
        List<String> errors = ex.getBindingResult()
                .getFieldErrors()
                .stream()
                .map(x -> x.getDefaultMessage())
                .collect(Collectors.toList());
        body.put("errors", errors);
        return new ResponseEntity<>(body, headers, status);

4. ResponseEntityExceptionHandler

4.1 If we are not sure, what exception was thrown by the Spring Boot, puts a breakpoint in this method for debugging.

ResponseEntityExceptionHandler.java
package org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation;
//...
public abstract class ResponseEntityExceptionHandler {
	@ExceptionHandler({
			HttpRequestMethodNotSupportedException.class,
			HttpMediaTypeNotSupportedException.class,
			HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException.class,
			MissingPathVariableException.class,
			MissingServletRequestParameterException.class,
			ServletRequestBindingException.class,
			ConversionNotSupportedException.class,
			TypeMismatchException.class,
			HttpMessageNotReadableException.class,
			HttpMessageNotWritableException.class,
			MethodArgumentNotValidException.class,
			MissingServletRequestPartException.class,
			BindException.class,
			NoHandlerFoundException.class,
			AsyncRequestTimeoutException.class
		})
	@Nullable
	public final ResponseEntity<Object> handleException(Exception ex, WebRequest request) throws Exception {
		HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
		if (ex instanceof HttpRequestMethodNotSupportedException) {
			HttpStatus status = HttpStatus.METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED;
			return handleHttpRequestMethodNotSupported((HttpRequestMethodNotSupportedException) ex, headers, status, request);
		else if (ex instanceof HttpMediaTypeNotSupportedException) {
			HttpStatus status = HttpStatus.UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA_TYPE;
			return handleHttpMediaTypeNotSupported((HttpMediaTypeNotSupportedException) ex, headers, status, request);
		//...
	//...

5. DefaultErrorAttributes

5.1 To override the default JSON error response for all exceptions, create a bean and extends DefaultErrorAttributes

CustomErrorAttributes.java
package com.mkyong.error;
import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.error.DefaultErrorAttributes;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.springframework.web.context.request.WebRequest;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Map;
@Component
public class CustomErrorAttributes extends DefaultErrorAttributes {
    private static final DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
    @Override
    public Map<String, Object> getErrorAttributes(WebRequest webRequest, boolean includeStackTrace) {
        // Let Spring handle the error first, we will modify later :)
        Map<String, Object> errorAttributes = super.getErrorAttributes(webRequest, includeStackTrace);
        // format & update timestamp
        Object timestamp = errorAttributes.get("timestamp");
        if (timestamp == null) {
            errorAttributes.put("timestamp", dateFormat.format(new Date()));
        } else {
            errorAttributes.put("timestamp", dateFormat.format((Date) timestamp));
        // insert a new key
        errorAttributes.put("version", "1.2");
        return errorAttributes;

Now, the date time is formatted and a new field – version is added to the JSON error response.

curl localhost:8080/books/5
	"timestamp":"2019/02/27 13:34:24",
	"status":404,
	"error":"Not Found",
	"message":"Book id not found : 5",
	"path":"/books/5",
	"version":"1.2"
curl localhost:8080/abc
	"timestamp":"2019/02/27 13:35:10",
	"status":404,
	"error":"Not Found",
	"message":"No message available",
	"path":"/abc",
	"version":"1.2"

Done.
