spring-restful-exception-handler

An annotation for the Spring framework to handle HTTP responses for custom exceptions.

How to use spring-restful-exception-handler

Under PROJECT/resources create a file called error.template. Inside this file, place the formatted error template you want to return when a custom exception is thrown. If no custom template is given, the following default template will be used:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <error> %s </error>

Annotate the custom exception class with @Exception(*httpStatus*, *contentType*). The defaults are httpStatus = HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR contentType = MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_VALUE.

Make sure to add com.raychatter.common.annotation.AnnotationHandler as a bean in your XML. And that's it!
