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

You can just set responseStatus on res like this:

@RequestMapping(value = VIDEO_DATA_PATH, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ResponseEntity getData(@PathVariable(ID_PARAMETER) long id,
                                            HttpServletResponse res) {
...
    res.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND); 
    // or res.setStatus(404)
    return null; // or build some response entity
 ...
}
