on-exception

[ravkrr]

Hello guys,
i am using the on-exception as follows:

	<global-transitions>
		<transition on-exception="java.lang.NullPointerException" to="exceptionView" />
    </global-transitions>

But when the nullpointer exception occurs, I see it on my console and it is not going on the desired view.

Can anybody give me a hint why this is so?

Thanks
Kris

Hi,
i think you must catch "java.lang.NullPointerException" on action, pojo.... i have an old sample whit it, but it runs in normal transition how this:

	<view-state id="xxxxxxxxxx" view="/xxxxxxxxxx.jsp">
		<transition on="event" to="nextState">
			<action bean="formAction" method="bindAndValidate">
				<attribute name="validatorMethod" value="validateDatos" />
			</action>
		</transition>
		<transition on-exception="java.lang.ArithmeticException" to="error"/>

	</view-state>

the exception was caugth on method action class

I din't try it on global transition, see if it is your problem

Hello there,

i actually got the global thing to work.

When I first started testing the exception, I did not specify an attribute in the input-mapper and as a result a null pointer exception was being generated by the framework. This could not be catched!!
However, if it is an exception from the actions in the flow, then it works.
