How to handle Unhandled exceptions in all controller classes with single controller?

[chakinam]

At present I am able to handle excetions at controller level.. I have added this method in all controller classes to handle the exceptions... It is working fine...

@ExceptionHandler(Exception.class)
public ModelAndView handleException(Exception e, HttpServletRequest r) {
String message = e.getMessage();
ModelAndView mv=new ModelAndView("exceptionPage", "message", message);
return mv;
}


But my question here is can we write a common controller which will handle all the exceptions?, So that I can avoid duplication of exception handling code... I tried this code but seems to be DispatcherServlet is looking the @ExceptionHandler(Throwable.class) annotation with in same controller class..


@Controller
public class ExceptionController {

@ExceptionHandler(Throwable.class)
public ModelAndView handleException(Throwable e, HttpServletRequest r) {
String message = e.getMessage();
ModelAndView mv=new ModelAndView("exceptionPage", "message", message);
return mv;
}

}

Thanks in advance..

Please use [ code][/code ] tags when posting code, that way it remains readable.

You cannot.. The @ExceptionHandler is only visible to the current controller... If you want general exception handling implement your own HandlerExceptionResolver. I suggest a read of the exception handling section in the reference guide.

Hi chakinam,

I suggest put @ExceptionHandler code in some base controller and extend this base controller in all controllers. catch the unhandled exception in every try catch block,
