Hey Bob,
Thanks for th response. I have been playing around with a custom
errorpage, but apparently you *have* to subclass Click's ErrorPage in
order to make it work. How do I integrate this page with my current
template?
I have a TemplatePage class that will take care of layout and stuff, and
I want my error page to fit right in the existing layout. But I cannot
let my errorpage extends TemplatePage because of the before mentioned
restriction.
Is it an idea to make ErrorPage an interface instead of a class with,
let's say /void setError( Throwable t)/ so any page can function as an
ErrorPage?
Cheers

Hi WarnerJan,
All RuntimeExceptions thrown by the application will be handled by
Click's ErrorPage. So how about wrapping the parse code in a try/catch
block and rethrow a RuntimeException or custom exception e.g:
SecurityException/TamperException and let Click ErrorPage display the
message? You can also create your own ErrorPage subclass to customize
error handling if you're not happy with the default behavior.
If you're application is i18n aware you can lookup the error messages
from the ErrorPage's property file.
kind regards
bob

Hello list,
I have a class that extends RequestTypeConverter. The issue that
rises, is that I cannot handle errors very well. For example, I have
this URL: /Portal/publish.htm?configuration=1. In order to get the
VO, I need to parse the value. This would be a String containing "1".
Integer.parseInt( (String) value) will get me an int containing 1.
But if people start messing with the URL, and for example enter
configuration=blah, parseInt will throw a ParseException. What do I
do with that Exception? Rethrow? Catch, and then what? It's not clear
how to handle errors here.
Same goes for semantic errors. If they change the number from 1 to
42, they might not have access to that particular VO. The backend
will throw an InsufficientRightsException, and what do I do with that?
Thanks for thinking along :)
