How to return 404 response status in Spring Boot @ResponseBody - method return type is Response?

Question

I\'m using Spring Boot with @ResponseBody based approach like the following:

@RequestMapping(value = VIDEO_DATA_PATH, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public @Respons         


        

Answer 1

This is very simply done by throwing org.springframework.web.server.ResponseStatusException:

throw new ResponseStatusException(
  HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND, "entity not found"
);

It's compatible with @ResponseBody and with any return value. Requires Spring 5+
