Creating Custom Error Page in Spring MVC

Its always a good Practice to create a custom Error Page which can be shown to client to handle errors such as "Page Not Found" or even "Internal Server Error"

We have created a controller which does the exactly same work.We have not created any views here which you can create in your views location with name "error.jsp" or "error.html" or as you have configured your view resolver.

Here is the file you can add to your Controllers.

ExceptionHandling.java

 package com.springimplant.mvc.controllers;  
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;  
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;  
 import org.springframework.core.annotation.AnnotationUtils;  
 import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;  
 import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;  
 import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ControllerAdvice;  
 import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ExceptionHandler;  
 import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;  
 import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseStatus;  
 import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;  
 @Controller  
 @ControllerAdvice  
 public class ExceptionHandling {  
      @ExceptionHandler(Exception.class)  
      public ModelAndView exceptionHandler(final HttpServletRequest request,final HttpServletResponse response,final Exception ex)  
      {  
           // If exception has a ResponseStatus annotation then use its response code  
           ResponseStatus responseStatusAnnotation = AnnotationUtils.findAnnotation(ex.getClass(), ResponseStatus.class);  
           return buildModelAndViewErrorPage(request, response, ex,responseStatusAnnotation != null ? responseStatusAnnotation.value() : HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);  
      }  
      @RequestMapping("*")  
      public ModelAndView fallbackHandler(final HttpServletRequest request, final HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {  
           return buildModelAndViewErrorPage(request, response, null, HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);  
      }  
      private ModelAndView buildModelAndViewErrorPage(final HttpServletRequest request,final HttpServletResponse response,final Exception ex,final HttpStatus httpStatus) {  
           response.setStatus(httpStatus.value());  
           ModelAndView mav=new ModelAndView("error");  
           if(ex!=null)  
           {  
                mav.addObject("title",ex);  
           }  
           mav.addObject("content",request.getRequestURL());  
           return mav;  
      }  
 }
