Spring-mvc controller and exception handling

Question

Would like to ask you a best practice question where a spring-mvc controller is concerned. Please review the code below:

    @Autowired
    SomeService service;
         


        

Answer 1

I would say you have three strategies depending on your use case.

There are roughly three strategies: HandlerExceptionResolver, @ExceptionHandler and handling exceptions internally within action.

The use cases for these are: common exception handler for whole application, whole controller, specific action accordingly.
