Remove "trace" field from ResponseStatusException

In my spring controller I return a ResponseStatusException if no entity is found, like this: 

@GetMapping("/categories/{id}")
  public ResponseEntity<Category> getCategoryById(@PathVariable(value = "id") String id) {
    try {
      return new ResponseEntity<Category>(categoryService.findById(id), HttpStatus.OK);
    } catch (CategoryNotFoundException ex) {
      throw new ResponseStatusException(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND, ex.getMessage());
    }
  }

I would expect the answer to be something like:

{
    "timestamp": "2019-02-22T12:25:29.913+0000",
    "status": 404,
    "error": "Not Found",
    "message": "could not find category with ID: XYZ'.",
    "path": "/categories/XYZ"
}

But the response also includes a long field "trace" with the nested exception.
Is there a way to get rid of the trace field?

Solution

  • Seems the field "trace" is present if you have "spring-boot-devtools" in your dependencies. I do not see such traces in my outputs after excluding devtools.

    Hope it will help.
