title: Null ModelAndView returned to DispatcherServlet with name ‘dispatcherServlet’: assuming HandlerAdapter completed request handling
body: <p>I understand that this question has been asked before multiple times but my use case is different, so I thought of posting it again.</p>
  
  <p>My scenario is one spring boot service caller another one using restTemplate. I have set the restTemplate timeout for connection and read.</p>
  
  <p>The callee somehow creates the following error right at the time it returns it's response back to the caller when that "return responseEntity" statement is executed:</p>
  
  <pre><code>DispatcherServlet (DispatcherServlet.java:1048) - Null ModelAndView returned to DispatcherServlet with name ‘dispatcherServlet’: assuming HandlerAdapter completed request handling
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem here is that the exception block around the restTemplate.postForEntity code in the caller never gets executed even though there was a read timeout occurring at the callee. I just see the above mentioned error on the console and that's it. Caller never gets any response back, neither does its exception handling logic trigger.</p>
  
  <p>PS: I am testing these services using postman</p>
