Write JUnit test for @ExceptionHandler

Question

I am writing a Rest service using Spring MVC. Here is the outline of the class:

 @Controller
 public class MyController{

     @RequestMapping(..)
     public vo         


        

Answer 1

Annotate your Exception Handling controller with @ControllerAdvice instead of @Controller.

As Boris Treukhov noted when adding the @ExceptionHandler annotation to a method in the controller that throws the exception will make it work but only from that specific controller.

@ControllerAdvice will allow your exception handeling methods to be applicable for your whole application not just one specific controller.
