In this tutorial, we’ll implement a RestTemplate Error Handling Example. But, before moving ahead, let’s see why is there a need to do this? The answer is: It becomes very tedious to handle exceptions through try/catch block as applications scale. An Efficient way to avoid this hassle is to implement a reusable error handler that…

Using component scan is one method of asking Spring to detect the components of our application which Spring will then manage for us from Initialization to Execution. Spring needs the information to locate…
