Workaround: Add @RequestMapping("/**")

@Controller
@ControllerAdvice
public class GlobalExceptionHandler {

    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(GlobalExceptionHandler.class);

    @RequestMapping("/**")
    public String handlerNotMappingRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, HttpHeaders httpHeaders)
            throws NoHandlerFoundException {
        throw new NoHandlerFoundException("No handler mapping found.", request.getRequestURL().toString(), httpHeaders);
    }

    @ExceptionHandler(Throwable.class)
    @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR)
    public ModelAndView handleControllerException(Throwable ex) {
        logger.error("ErrorLog: ", ex);
        return new ModelAndView("error/exception", "exceptionMsg", "ExceptionHandler msg: " + ex.toString());
    }

    @ExceptionHandler(NoHandlerFoundException.class)
    @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND)
    public ModelAndView handleNoHandlerFoundException(NoHandlerFoundException ex) {
        logger.error("ErrorLog: ", ex);
        return new ModelAndView("error/exception", "exceptionMsg", "NoHandlerFoundException msg: " + ex.toString());
    }
}
