Question

Ya, basically the question. In a few of my handlers I have a @ModelAttribute, in an extreme edge case that @ModelAttribute can throw an excetion. When that happens I want to display an error page. I want to do this all in the @ModelAttribute method as I want to avoid redundant code in the different request handlers.

Answer 1

Have you tried @ExceptionHandler?

@ExceptionHandler(YourException.class)
public ModelAndView handleException(YourException e, HttpServletRequest request) {
    // Handle it
    return yourView;
}
