I have the following DTO object used in Java spring boot code.
ExceptionResponseDTO.java
package be.bytebrain.hrms.exception;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import lombok.Data;
@Data
public class ExceptionResponseDTO {
private String message;
private LocalDateTime dateTime;
}
My global class with pointcut expression to handle exceptions thrown by spring-boot controllers.
package be.bytebrain.hrms.exception;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.validation.FieldError;
import org.springframework.web.bind.MethodArgumentNotValidException;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ExceptionHandler;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseStatus;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestControllerAdvice;
import org.springframework.web.context.request.WebRequest;
@RestControllerAdvice
public class GlobalExceptionHandler {
@ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND)
@ExceptionHandler(NotFoundException.class)
public ResponseEntity<Object> handleExceptions(NotFoundException exception, WebRequest webRequest) {
var response = new ExceptionResponseDTO();
response.setDateTime(LocalDateTime.now());
response.setMessage(exception.getMessage());
return new ResponseEntity<>(response, HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);
}
@ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST)
@ExceptionHandler(MethodArgumentNotValidException.class)
public Map<String, String> handleValidationExceptions(MethodArgumentNotValidException ex) {
Map<String, String> errors = new HashMap<>();
ex.getBindingResult().getAllErrors().forEach((error) -> {
String fieldName = ((FieldError) error).getField();
String errorMessage = error.getDefaultMessage();
errors.put(fieldName, errorMessage);
});
return errors;
}
}
My error when try to compile the spring boot project.

The issue was that Lombok not being configured properly was not generating the getters and setters during compilation. That issue was fixed.
