Thanks for the followup.... I understand what you are saying, but what i am not able to figure out, is the best way to communicate to the Search-Page THAT there was an EXCEPTION in the IDataProvider.iterator() or IDataProvider.size() methods (which contains all the back-end calls and is used/invoked by the DataView before rendering), now as i said i can have an empty-list-iterator (from the iterator method) returned if there is an Exception, but how to program the Page ? for it to populate the corresponding error message in the feedback-panel...
