Answer 1

Got past the NestedServletException with the following solution...

    final StaticApplicationContext applicationContext = new StaticApplicationContext();
    applicationContext.registerSingleton("exceptionHandler", GlobalControllerExceptionHandler.class);

    final WebMvcConfigurationSupport webMvcConfigurationSupport = new WebMvcConfigurationSupport();
    webMvcConfigurationSupport.setApplicationContext(applicationContext);

    mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(controller).
        setHandlerExceptionResolvers(webMvcConfigurationSupport.handlerExceptionResolver()).
        build();
