Also, it would be useful to have the name of the MC bean which threw the exception (as we get in contextsInError) - this allows me to discard all non WB related exceptions. anonymous wrote : Otherwise, like Adrian said, we need to get this into ProfileService, | hence Scott or Emanuel are the one's that should help you with this. I don't use ManagedDeployment at all. Instead I use http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/integration/trunk/jboss-p... and it's start/stop/distribute methods. Any deployment exceptions (IncompleteDeploymentException which I then dig into to get the underlying WB exception) are simply thrown out of these methods which we catch. So, what is the best way to attach an exception handler? Can we add something to the PS API for this? Or should it be configured via -beans.xml or something?
