Spring MVC: How to return custom 404 errorpages?

Question

I\'m looking for a clean way to return customized 404 errorpages in Spring 4 when a requested resource was not found. Queries to different domain types should result in diff

Answer 1

You can map the error codes in web.xml like the following

    
        400
        /400
    

    
        404
        /404
    

    
        500
        /500
    

Now you can create a controller to map the url's that are hit when any of these error is found.

@Controller
public class HTTPErrorHandler{

    String path = "/error";

    @RequestMapping(value="/404")
    public String error404(){
       // DO stuff here 
        return path+"/404";
    }
    }
