Performing a redirect from a spring MVC @ExceptionHandler method

Question

I want to have the following method:

@ExceptionHandler(MyRuntimeException.class)
public String myRuntimeException(MyRuntimeException e, RedirectAttributes redire         


        

Answer 1

You could always forward then redirect (or redirect twice).. First to another request mapping where you have normal access to RedirectAttributes, then again to your final destination.

    @ExceptionHandler(Exception.class)
    public String handleException(final Exception e) {

        return "forward:/n/error";
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "/n/error", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String error(final RedirectAttributes redirectAttributes) {

        redirectAttributes.addAttribute("foo", "baz");
        return "redirect:/final-destination";
    }
