Karel Hübl updated PIVOT-916: ----------------------------- Attachment: trunk_wtk.patch Proposed patch. > Replace DesktopApplicationContext.displayException calls with > ApplicationContext.handleUncaughtException > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIVOT-916 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-916 > Project: Pivot > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Karel Hübl > Attachments: trunk_wtk.patch > > > There should be consistent way to handle uncaught exceptions in Pivot > applications. > However uncaught exceptions thrown in DesktopApplicationContext class (for > example in application.startup ) are handled using private static method > displayException, which displays dialog and its logic cannot be overriden. > May be ApplicationContext.handleUncaughtException could be made protected and > calls to DesktopApplicationContext.displayException could be replaced by > ApplicationContext.handleUncaughtException. And possibly Application.Adapter > could implement UncaughtExceptionHandler - so current > DesktopApplicationContext.displayException logic could be moved to new > Application.Adapter.uncaughtExceptionThrown method. > This should enable to override uncaught exception handling globally in pivot > applications. > Motivation: > We deploy Pivot app using Java Web Start. Users have by default disabled Java > Console (and they are not familiar with it). We want to display custom dialog > to handle uncaught exceptions displaying full stack trace and with possiblity > to report exception to help desk. > I think, in current implementation it is not possible to override handling of > uncaught exceptions thrown during application init and other specific > situations. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
