[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Newbie Problem with Exception handling and pages.xml

[sheadley3228]

I am new with seam and require a little bit of guidance. I am trying to handle application wide exceptions through the use of pages.xml and the <exception class> tags. If I forceably thow an exception in my application for testing purpose, with the following tag in my pages.xml:


      <end-conversation/>
      <redirect view-id="/views/admin/error.xhtml">
          Database access failed
      
   

I get the following view which is incorrect:

500 Internal Server Error

Servlet error: An exception occurred. The current application deployment descriptors do not allow for including it in this response. Please consult the application log for details.

If I then use the following in my web.xml:

<error-page>
    <error-code>500</error-code>
     /views/admin/error.xhtml
</error-page>

I get the correct page displayed.

Why is this happenning? How could I maintain one place for all exceptions to be handled which allows all my exception messages to be shown?


My enviornment is OC4J, Seam, RichFaces.
