Class ExceptionHandlerMethodResolver

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.web.method.annotation.ExceptionHandlerMethodResolver
public class ExceptionHandlerMethodResolver extends Object
Discovers @ExceptionHandler methods in a given class, including all of its superclasses, and helps to resolve a given Exception and MediaType requested by clients to combinations supported by a given Method.

This resolver will use the exception information declared as @ExceptionHandler annotation attributes, or as a method argument as a fallback. This will throw IllegalStateException instances if:

  • No Exception information could be found for a method
  • An invalid MediaType has been declared as @ExceptionHandler attribute
  • Multiple handlers declare the same exception + media type mapping

3.1
