Spring @ControllerAdvice doesn't work

I want to handle all exceptions thrown by any controller with the help of my GlobalExceptionHandler class. When I add following code to my controller, it works fine. But in this case I must add following code to all my controllers. But I don't want to repeat following code in each controller.

@ExceptionHandler({ FiberValidationException.class }) public String handleValidationException(HttpServletRequest req, Exception ex) { return ex.getMessage(); }

When I remove them and use my GlobalExceptionHandler class, it doesn't handle exceptions.

What is the reason ? How I can fix it ? 

@ControllerAdvice
@EnableWebMvc
public class GlobalExceptionHandler {

private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(GlobalExceptionHandler.class);

@ExceptionHandler({ FiberValidationException.class })
public String handleValidationException(HttpServletRequest req, Exception ex) {
    LOG.error("FiberValidationException handler executed");
    return ex.getMessage();
}

@ExceptionHandler({ ChannelOverflowException.class })
public String handleOverflowException(HttpServletRequest req, Exception ex) {
    LOG.error("ChannelOverflowException handler executed");
    return ex.getMessage();
}
}

in my case I was specified wrong exception for my function entry arguments, for example I passed EntityNotFoundException exception for MissingFormatArgumentException so my response to this exception was always 500 and it was never catched in my ControllerAdvice.

Extend your global exception class with ResponseEntityExceptionHandler. e.g. public class GlobalExceptionHandler extends ResponseEntityExceptionHandler {

You might define the base package of the ControllerAdvice
