[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-3159) Debug/development mode control

Debug/development mode control ------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-3159 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3159 Project: Seam Issue Type: Task Components: Tools Reporter: Pete Muir Priority: Critical Fix For: 2.1.0.BETA2 Currently we have a very overloaded system which is hard to use: 1) debug flag is used to control parsing of hot-deploy (/dev) which is odd 2) to view the debug page at all you must both include jboss-seam-debug.jar and enable debug mode in components.xml. Further, if you do this, then the debug page handler is installed, which screws with the exception handling. I propose that by simply including jboss-seam-debug.jar you get 1) hot deployment enabled 2) use of the debug page by calling /debug.seam BUT not as a redirect off the exception handler and, further, by <exception:exceptions enable-debug-page="true" /> (better ideas for attribute name?) you can automagically redirect to the debug page when an exception occurs. The default for this is false, and this should be set in seam-gen (the seam-gen app should include a link to debug.seam in perhaps its footer)
