Custom data for all problem exceptions

Hi!

I want to add different values to all exceptions. For example zipkin traceId.

I have added:

@Configuration
class SpringDataRestConfiguration extends RepositoryRestConfigurerAdapter {

  @Override
  public void configureJacksonObjectMapper(ObjectMapper objectMapper) {
    objectMapper
        .registerModule(new ProblemModule())
        .registerModule(new ConstraintViolationProblemModule());
  }
}

but when I try to override methods in:

@ControllerAdvice
class GlobalExceptionHandler implements ProblemHandling {
}

I end up with getting the full problem serialized cause, stackTrace, etc.

I must have misunderstood anything about the customization. But do you have any good way to add custom data and how to do the customization?

Thanks!

Maybe adding a toProblemBuilder() method in Problem would help (forcing implementations to implement it) ?

Exactly. No, there is no good workaround to me knowledge at least. Custom JSON post-processor using Jackson + Spring, maybe. But it won’t be nice either.
