When I use Spring to listen to JMS messages, I receievd the above error.

I am wondering how to add an Errorhandler into the JMS listener?

There is a property on AbstractMessageListenerContainer:

<bean id="listener" class="org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer">
    <property name="errorHandler" ref="someHandler"/>
    <property name="destinationName" value="someQueue"/>
    <property name="connectionFactory" ref="connectionFactory"/>
</bean>

Where someHandler is a bean implementing ErrorHandler:

@Service
public class SomeHandler implements ErrorHandler {

    @Override
    public void handleError(Throwable t) {
        log.error("Error in listener", t);
    }
}

However note that according to the documentation:

The default behavior of this message listener [...] will log any such exception at the error level. [...] However, if error handling is necessary, then any implementation of the ErrorHandler strategy may be provided to the setErrorHandler(ErrorHandler) method.

Check out your logs, maybe the exception is already logged?
