I wonder how to handle exception in ResponsesEntity.
When it receive wrong url, it supposes to go to the catch block and display the log. But I keep getting error message in console. The try-catch not working as it not display log message.

 @GetMapping("abc/{Id}")
        public ResponseEntity info(@PathVariable("Id") String id) {
            HttpEntity httpEntity = new HttpEntity(buildHttpHeaders());
            String theUrl = url + "/xxx ...";
            ResponseEntity<TDto> responseEntity = restTemplate.exchange(theUrl, HttpMethod.GET, httpEntity, TDto.class);
            TDto tdto = responseEntity.getBody();
            Tran tran = new Tran();
            try {
                  tran.setDate(new Date());
                  tran.saveAndFlush(tran); // save to database
            }catch(Exception e)
            {
                log.info("Log: "+e);
            }
            return responseEntity;
        }

Error

Is there a way to handle exception by displaying the log in catch block?

Yes,I am here

Yes, but the guys at SO seem to be doing a good job, so there's no point duplicating it unless you get stuck again.
