You can use @ExceptionHandler.

Create a @ControllerAdvice with methods annotated with @ExceptionHandler that cache your custom exceptions / generic one and return your custom status/message etc there.

Example:

@ControllerAdvice
public class ControllerExceptionHandler {

    @ExceptionHandler(Exception.class)
    @ResponseBody
    ResponseEntity<Object> handleControllerException(HttpServletRequest req, Throwable ex) {
        ErrorResponse errorResponse = new ErrorResponse(ex);
        return new ResponseEntity<Object>(errorResponse, HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
    }

}
