How to return 404 response status in Spring Boot @ResponseBody - method return type is Response?

Question

I\'m using Spring Boot with @ResponseBody based approach like the following:

@RequestMapping(value = VIDEO_DATA_PATH, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public @Respons         


        

Answer 1

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 {
}
