org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerExceptionResolver implementation that allows for mapping exception class names to view names, either for a set of given handlers or for all handlers in the DispatcherServlet.

Error views are analogous to error page JSPs, but can be used with any kind of exception including any checked one, with fine-granular mappings for specific handlers.

addStatusCodeback to summary
public void addStatusCode(String viewName, int statusCode)

An alternative to setStatusCodes(Properties) for use with Java-based configuration.

applyStatusCodeIfPossibleback to summary
protected void applyStatusCodeIfPossible(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, int statusCode)

Apply the specified HTTP status code to the given response, if possible (that is, if not executing within an include request).

Parameters
request:HttpServletRequest

current HTTP request

response:HttpServletResponse

current HTTP response

statusCode:int

the status code to apply

See Also
determineStatusCode, setDefaultStatusCode, HttpServletResponse#setStatus
determineStatusCodeback to summary
protected Integer determineStatusCode(HttpServletRequest request, String viewName)

Determine the HTTP status code to apply for the given error view.

The default implementation returns the status code for the given view name (specified through the statusCodes property), or falls back to the defaultStatusCode if there is no match.

Override this in a custom subclass to customize this behavior.

Parameters
request:HttpServletRequest

current HTTP request

viewName:String

the name of the error view

Returns:Integer

the HTTP status code to use, or null for the servlet container's default (200 in case of a standard error view)

setDefaultStatusCode, applyStatusCodeIfPossible
determineViewNameback to summary
protected String determineViewName(Exception ex, HttpServletRequest request)

Determine the view name for the given exception, first checking against the "excludedExecptions", then searching the "exceptionMappings", and finally using the "defaultErrorView" as a fallback.

Parameters
ex:Exception

the exception that got thrown during handler execution

request:HttpServletRequest

current HTTP request (useful for obtaining metadata)

Returns:String

the resolved view name, or null if excluded or none found

Annotations
@Nullable
doResolveExceptionback to summary
protected ModelAndView doResolveException(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler, Exception ex)

Implements abstract org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.AbstractHandlerExceptionResolver.doResolveException.

Actually resolve the given exception that got thrown during on handler execution, returning a ModelAndView that represents a specific error page if appropriate.

May be overridden in subclasses, in order to apply specific exception checks. Note that this template method will be invoked after checking whether this resolved applies ("mappedHandlers" etc), so an implementation may simply proceed with its actual exception handling.

Parameters
request:HttpServletRequest

current HTTP request

response:HttpServletResponse

current HTTP response

handler:Object

the executed handler, or null if none chosen at the time of the exception (for example, if multipart resolution failed)

ex:Exception

the exception that got thrown during handler execution

Returns:ModelAndView

a corresponding ModelAndView to forward to, or null for default processing in the resolution chain

Annotations
@Override
@Nullable
findMatchingViewNameback to summary
protected String findMatchingViewName(Properties exceptionMappings, Exception ex)

Find a matching view name in the given exception mappings.

Parameters
exceptionMappings:Properties

mappings between exception class names and error view names

ex:Exception

the exception that got thrown during handler execution

Returns:String

the view name, or null if none found

Annotations
@Nullable

setExceptionMappings
getDepthback to summary
protected int getDepth(String exceptionMapping, Exception ex)

Return the depth to the superclass matching.

0 means ex matches exactly. Returns -1 if there's no match. Otherwise, returns depth. Lowest depth wins.

getDepthback to summary
private int getDepth(String exceptionMapping, Class<?> exceptionClass, int depth)
getModelAndViewback to summary
protected ModelAndView getModelAndView(String viewName, Exception ex, HttpServletRequest request)

Return a ModelAndView for the given request, view name and exception.

The default implementation delegates to getModelAndView(String, Exception).

Parameters
viewName:String

the name of the error view

ex:Exception

the exception that got thrown during handler execution

request:HttpServletRequest

current HTTP request (useful for obtaining metadata)

Returns:ModelAndView

the ModelAndView instance

getModelAndViewback to summary
protected ModelAndView getModelAndView(String viewName, Exception ex)

Return a ModelAndView for the given view name and exception.

The default implementation adds the specified exception attribute. Can be overridden in subclasses.

Parameters
viewName:String

the name of the error view

ex:Exception

the exception that got thrown during handler execution

Returns:ModelAndView

the ModelAndView instance

See Also
setExceptionAttribute
getStatusCodesAsMapback to summary
public Map<String, Integer> getStatusCodesAsMap()

Returns the HTTP status codes provided via setStatusCodes(Properties). Keys are view names; values are status codes.

setDefaultErrorViewback to summary
public void setDefaultErrorView(String defaultErrorView)

Set the name of the default error view. This view will be returned if no specific mapping was found.

Default is none.

setDefaultStatusCodeback to summary
public void setDefaultStatusCode(int defaultStatusCode)

Set the default HTTP status code that this exception resolver will apply if it resolves an error view and if there is no status code mapping defined.

Note that this error code will only get applied in case of a top-level request. It will not be set for an include request, since the HTTP status cannot be modified from within an include.

If not specified, no status code will be applied, either leaving this to the controller or view, or keeping the servlet engine's default of 200 (OK).

Parameters
defaultStatusCode:int

the HTTP status code value, for example 500 (HttpServletResponse#SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR) or 404 (HttpServletResponse#SC_NOT_FOUND)

See Also
setStatusCodes(Properties)
setExceptionAttributeback to summary
public void setExceptionAttribute(String exceptionAttribute)

Set the name of the model attribute as which the exception should be exposed. Default is "exception".

This can be either set to a different attribute name or to null for not exposing an exception attribute at all.

See Also
DEFAULT_EXCEPTION_ATTRIBUTE
setExceptionMappingsback to summary
public void setExceptionMappings(Properties mappings)

Set the mappings between exception class names and error view names. The exception class name can be a substring, with no wildcard support at present. A value of "ServletException" would match jakarta.servlet.ServletException and subclasses, for example.

Note

Consider carefully how specific the pattern is, and whether to include package information (which isn't mandatory). For example, "Exception" will match nearly anything, and will probably hide other rules. "java.lang.Exception" would be correct if "Exception" was meant to define a rule for all checked exceptions. With more unusual exception names such as "BaseBusinessException" there's no need to use a FQN.

Parameters
mappings:Properties

exception patterns (can also be fully qualified class names) as keys, and error view names as values

setExcludedExceptionsback to summary
public void setExcludedExceptions(Class<?>... excludedExceptions)

Set one or more exceptions to be excluded from the exception mappings. Excluded exceptions are checked first and if one of them equals the actual exception, the exception will remain unresolved.

Parameters
excludedExceptions:Class<?>[]

one or more excluded exception types

setStatusCodesback to summary
public void setStatusCodes(Properties statusCodes)

Set the HTTP status code that this exception resolver will apply for a given resolved error view. Keys are view names; values are status codes.

Note that this error code will only get applied in case of a top-level request. It will not be set for an include request, since the HTTP status cannot be modified from within an include.

If not specified, the default status code will be applied.
