[Pete Muir (JIRA)]

     [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2595?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Pete Muir closed JBSEAM-2595.
-----------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 2.1.0.CR1)
       Resolution: Won't Fix


Closing, as I think that Gavin is correct, and we should handle this through education:

1) seam-gen based projects include a defualt exception handler
2) the docs recommend a defualt exception handler

> For example, if an action throws NPE, the exception handler checks
> what is defined in pages.xml. If no handler is defined,
> SeamPhaseListener swallows the exception after printing it in the log.
> This is a bad strategy, as most users start with no exception handling
> defined and no pages.xml, yet they don't see their exceptions on the
> page. We need SOME default handler, even if no pages.xml is present.
