Unable to use custom HttpMessageNotReadableException error message in Spring Boot

I’m currently trying to provide custom messages for exceptions, but ran into an issue with HttpMessageNotReadableException.

I have an ErrorDetails class:

public class ErrorDetails {
    private Date timestamp;
    private String message;
    private String details;



    public ErrorDetails(Date timestamp, String message, String details) {
        super();
        this.timestamp = timestamp;
        this.message = message;
        this.details = details;
    }

    public Date getTimestamp() {
        return timestamp;
    }

    public void setTimestamp(Date timestamp) {
        this.timestamp = timestamp;
    }

    public String getMessage() {
        return message;
    }

    public void setMessage(String message) {
        this.message = message;
    }

    public String getDetails() {
        return details;
    }

    public void setDetails(String details) {
        this.details = details;
    }

I also have a custom exception handler:

@Order(Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE)
@ControllerAdvice
@RestController
public class CustomizedExceptionHandler extends ResponseEntityExceptionHandler {
    @ExceptionHandler(HttpMessageNotReadableException.class)
    @Override
    public final ResponseEntity<Object> handleHttpMessageNotReadable(HttpMessageNotReadableException ex, HttpHeaders headers, HttpStatus status, WebRequest request){
        ErrorDetails errorDetails = new ErrorDetails(new Date(), "hello",request.getDescription(true));
        errorDetails.setMessage("Testing message");
        return new ResponseEntity<>(errorDetails,HttpStatus.NOT_ACCEPTABLE);
    }
}

But when i try to post a bad request, for example, with a field that should have a integer value I pass a string in the JSON it still returns the default error message of:

{
    "timestamp": "2019-03-12T00:15:14.210+0000",
    "status": 400,
    "error": "Bad Request",
    "message": "JSON parse error: Cannot deserialize value of type `int` from String "lala": not a valid Integer value; nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidFormatException: Cannot deserialize value of type `int` from String "lala": not a valid Integer valuen at [Source: (PushbackInputStream); line: 5, column: 17] (through reference chain: com.tdl.model.ToDoNote["priority"])",
    "path": "/todos"
}

The JSON request:

{
    "name": "An workout",
    "dateToComplete": "Today",
    "description": "Sleep Day",
    "priority": "lala",
    "completed": false
}

The desired effect would just be the test message appearing instead of the long description.

I also get this in my Eclipse console:

WARN 16508 — [nio-5000-exec-4] .w.s.m.s.DefaultHandlerExceptionResolver : Resolved [org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException: JSON parse error: Cannot deserialize value of type int from String “lala”: not a valid Integer value; nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidFormatException: Cannot deserialize value of type int from String “lala”: not a valid Integer value at [Source: (PushbackInputStream); line: 5, column: 17] (through reference chain: com.tdl.model.ToDoNote[“priority”])]

I changed the status to NOT_ACCEPTABLE just to see more clearly if my custom error is returned.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

EDIT

Added ExceptionHandler for InvalidFormatException, but nothing changed. I still get the default error(exception) message same as before.

@ExceptionHandler(InvalidFormatException.class)
    public final ResponseEntity<Object> handleInvalidFormat(InvalidFormatException ex, HttpHeaders headers, HttpStatus status, WebRequest request){
        ErrorDetails errorDetails = new ErrorDetails(new Date(), "hello",request.getDescription(true));
        errorDetails.setMessage("Testing message");
        return new ResponseEntity<>(errorDetails,HttpStatus.NOT_ACCEPTABLE);

    }

Answer

The problem is solved. I had my custom exception classes in a badly named package. It was called just exception. While it should have been com.app.exception where the whole project is.
