[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBSEAM-2596) Exception handling - Never try to do anything after an exception but exception handling

Exception handling - Never try to do anything after an exception but exception handling --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2596 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2596 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Core Reporter: Shane Bryzak Fix For: 2.1.0.GA This is related to JBSEAM-2595 Currently, if no exception handler is defined for an exception, Seam will (after logging and swallowing in SeamPhaseListener) happily continue with the next phase. It WILL fall over and blow up with another exception in almost all cases, especially if the rendering triggers any database access. These are the famous "Transaction is not active" exceptions that THEN will appear on the page. There is no hint of the real cause, the swallowed exception. Not even a "check in the log, idiot" message. We need to figure out if the default exception handler (without pages.xml) as proposed in 1. is sufficient to solve this issue. I'm not sure about RENDER RESPONSE exceptions.
