In case I get any exception or error condition in Console, the nothing is
printed on web console and huge stack trace is printed on server console. Only
thing done in the name of Exception handling in all the portlets is "throw
PortletException"
I somehow don't like this behavior of console. As a console user I don't want
to go and see server stacktrace, if there is some error I should atleast be
informed in console. I think everytime there is a error or exception in
console, it should be printed in either exception page in webconsole, or in
header of portlet view page. This is done to some extent in configManager and
CA part of console. But not in uniform way.
This is what I am proposing for Exception handling in console :
1. Create a ConsoleException.java which extends PortletException, this class
will have overridden printStackTrace(PrintWriter), which will set attribute
required in _ConsoleException.jsp apart from printing the stack on PrintWriter.
2. Create _ConsoleException.jsp which should be included in all portlet, this
jsp will be responsible to print a short message and long stack trace. (with a
toggle button to view and hide long stack trace)
3. All Portlet classes should throw ConsoleException instead of PortletException
I think this will be nice and cleaner way to handle the console problems.
