handle errors -> send exception to action

[Gunter D'Hondt]

Hello,

I want to send an email when an exception occurs and inside the mailbody the exception stacktrace must be written. So I thought to make an action "action-sendmail" and call it from the map:handle-errors part. That definitely triggers the action but how can I send the Exception object (or just the errormessage and its stacktrace to that action so I can place it into the mailbody.

Can the Exception object been sent thru a parameter? Where is the exception located? Inside the request object?

See below a snippet of the sitemap

Any help is welcome,
