I won't profess to understanding exactly how this works, but one of our
developers did exactly what you're trying to do. We wanted to save and email
the full HTML "red-bar" traceback for oncall engineers, but we only wanted
users to see a short message with an identifying number so we could
correlate it on the system when they called in.
Here are the def statements from our ExceptionHandler; some override
corresponding default methods in Webware/WebKit.
def __init__(self, application=None, transaction=None, excInfo=None):
def work(self):
def getPublicHTML(self):
def getPrivateHTML(self):
def getHTML(self):
def errorPageFilename(self):
def createRandomCode(self):
def createTimeStamp(self):
def createHTMLForDisplay(self):
The errorPageFilename uses a number returned by createRandomCode as part of
the filename. The date from createTimeStamp is also used for the filename,
so an error in servlet SomeFunc makes the file:
Error-SomeFunc.py-01-Nov-03_15:09Z--11081.html
It uses getPublicHTML to construct the contents of that file.
The getPrivateHTML method is probably the one you're most interested in. It
constructs a much smaller, kinder, gentler page for the user to see (with
words like "We've encountered an error processing your request. If you need
immediate assistance call 1-800-BITEME. Please reference code: 12345 when
you call. We're sorry for the inconvenience."
I hope this helps.
Cheers!

Subject: [Webware-discuss] Customizing Exception pages
Hallo,
where should I start customizing the visual appearance of error pages?
Although I hope, that my users will never have to see them, if they do
I want them to look at something that fits into the design of my site.
I found Page.writeExceptionReport() but is this where such things
should be done? Does anyone have an example? I found nothing in the
Wiki on this topic...
ciao
