Hi François,
Yes, you can handle these sorts of errors. They happen either very
early or very late in the request - response loop and WebObjects is
not setup to handle them properly. Unfortunately, this is left up to
you. Here is how to do this:
1. Once source of this error is in the appendToResponse phase of
pages/components returned from direct actions. WO is not prepared to
catch that exception. To fix this, we can force the rendering to
happen earlier. Add / edit this method in DirectAction:
public WOActionResults performActionNamed(String actionName)
{
WOActionResults result;
try
{
result = super.performActionNamed(actionName);
result = result.generateResponse(); // render page
}
catch(Throwable t)
{
result = WOApplication.application().handleException(new
NSForwardException(t), context());
}
return result;
}
I am not sure if the try...catch block is needed anymore, it was once
and won't hurt.
2. I am not certain that this case is a problem anymore, but it was
once. Add this method to Application:
public WOResponse dispatchRequest(WORequest request)
{
WOResponse response;
try
{
response = super.dispatchRequest(request);
}
catch(Throwable t)
{
response = WOApplication.application().handleException
(new NSForwardException(t), createContextForRequest(request));
}
return response;
}
This will allow the normal exception handling that Andrew mentioned
to work.

Hi list,
As all developers knows, in a perfect world, an app wouldn't
crash, everything would go smooth, but hey, s**t happens.
So sometimes, I get the dreaded and ugly "An Internal Server Error
Has Occurred." page (most of the time I forget to update the DB to
match my EOModel, easy fix)
Is there any way to catch this do display a "better" error page, or
to customise this page ?
Thanks,
François
