[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-2595) Exception handling - Never swallow an exception

Exception handling - Never swallow an exception ----------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2595 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2595 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Core Reporter: Shane Bryzak Fix For: 2.1.0.GA 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.
