How to return 404 response status in Spring Boot @ResponseBody - method return type is Response?
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+
Create a NotFoundException
class with an @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND)
annotation and throw it from your controller.
@ResponseStatus(code = HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND, reason = "video not found")
public class VideoNotFoundException extends RuntimeException {
}
Your original method can return ResponseEntity (doesn't change your method behavior):
@RequestMapping(value = VIDEO_DATA_PATH, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ResponseEntity getData(@PathVariable(ID_PARAMETER) long id, HttpServletResponse res{
...
}
and return the following:
return new ResponseEntity(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);
