[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-2597) Exception handling - JSF swallows exceptions in certain phases

Exception handling - JSF swallows exceptions in certain phases -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2597 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2597 Project: Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Exception Handling Reporter: Shane Bryzak Assignee: Christian Bauer Fix For: 2.1.0.CR1 I can't reproduce this right now but I'm sure I spent several hours with a debugger only to find out that I had a typo in a value binding and that the exception was completely swallowed during an early JSF phase (UPDATE MODEL probably). There was nothing in the log, the action phase just never executed. This is a major issue (obviously) for another subtle reason: Beginners have trouble understanding the JSF lifecycle and processing phases - I know I did. You begin to hate JSf when you don't understand why a certain phase does not execute. I'd start reproducing it by generating an NPE in a value binding setter, that should do it.
