即使服务器出错，ResponseBuilder 也会给出 200 OK HTTP 响应

Question

I am using javax.ws.rs.core.Response api to build and send back response to front end from my spring boot backend. I have a controller as follows.

@GetMapping(value = "/details")
public Response getDetails() throws ServiceException {
    try {
        //logic to get details
        return Response.status(Response.Status.OK).entity(details).build();

    } catch (Exception e) {
        log.error(e.getMessage());
        return Response.status(Response.Status.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR).entity(e.getMessage).build();
    }

}

But I am getting 200 OK as the response status for the HTTP Request in the browser/postman even in the case of exceptions. Because of this, the ajax success block executes instead of the error block when there is an exception. Is there any way to make the error block execute in this case? I don't want to throw an exception as it sends the entire stack trace in the response.

@GetMapping is from spring mvc and spring-mvc is not JAX-RS compliant. So don't mix to use them together. Either use pure spring-mvc or pure JAX-RS . you can try to return a spring-mvc ResponseEntity (equivalent to JAX-RS Response ) instead:

@GetMapping(value = "/details")
public ResponseEntity getDetails() throws ServiceException {
    try {
        //logic to get details
        return ResponseEntity.ok(details);

    } catch (Exception e) {
        log.error(e.getMessage());
        return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR).body(e.getMessage);
    }

}
