java - How to program 404 error in spring rest api?

Question

Im trying to throw a 404 error for a spring rest api when nothing is found for an assignment, but it wont accept the exception im giving?

Warehouse warehouse = warehouseRepository.findById(warehouseId).orElseThrow(new ResponseStatusException(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND, "No warehouses with specified ID were found"));

its giving me this compilation error:

reason: no instance(s) of type variable(s) X exist so that ResponseStatusException conforms to Supplier<? extends X>

This is my first time making a rest API, am I supposed to change the exception in some way for this to work?
