Implement a Global Handler for UserNotFoundException


Overview

This implementation enhances the exception handling mechanism within the Journal REST API application by defining a custom exception, UserNotFoundException, and implementing a global exception handler to manage this exception effectively. The goal is to centralize exception handling, improving code maintainability and consistency.

Got to Issue


Tasks

1. Define UserNotFoundException

Create a custom exception class named UserNotFoundException.

2. Implement Global Exception Handler
