+=== REST Controller Exception Handling
+
+An `@RestController` may use `@ExceptionHandler` methods that return a
+`ResponseEntity` to provide both a response status and error details in the body
+of the response. Such methods may also be added to `@ControllerAdvice`
+classes for exception handling across a subset or all controllers.
+
+A common requirement is to include error details in the body of the response.
+Spring does not automatically do this (although Spring Boot does) because the
+representation of error details in the response body is application specific.
+
+Applications that wish to implement a global exception handling strategy with
+error details in the response body should consider extending the abstract base
+class `ResponseEntityExceptionHandler` which provides handling for the exceptions
+that Spring MVC raises and provides hooks to customize the response body as
+well as to handle other exceptions. Simply declare the extension class as a
+Spring bean and annotate it with `@ControllerAdvice`. For more details see
+See `ResponseEntityExceptionHandler`.
