Thanks, that helped. Don’t ask why I did not think of looking into the sources myself (blush)

By overriding the reportException() in my DirectAction class I can now trap the exception.

/**

* Let our application handle the error reporting.

* @param ex the exception thrown

@Override

public WOActionResults reportException(Exception ex) {

Application application = (Application)Application.application();

WOContext context = context();

return application.handleException(ex, context);

}

Hi Markus,
ERD2WDirectAction seems to be doing some really funky stuff to catch and handle exceptions in performActionNamed().
If there's no D2W involved you might want to consider inheriting from ERXDirectAction instead.

I have a direct action that crashes and I cannot catch the exception. Why?

Scenario:

/**
* dummy to demonstrate the issue
*/
public class DirectAction extends ERD2WDirectAction {

  public WOActionResults crashAction() throws Exception {
   throw new Exception("Crash in DirectAction");
  }
}

Where can I catch this Exception? It does not trigger anything in Application (which extends ERXApplication)
Both handle...() methods do not respond.

@Override
public WOResponse handleActionRequestError(WORequest aRequest, Exception exception, String reason,
WORequestHandler aHandler, String actionClassName, String actionName, Class actionClass,
WOAction actionInstance) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return super.handleActionRequestError(aRequest, exception, reason, aHandler, actionClassName, actionName, actionClass,
actionInstance);
}

@Override
public WOResponse handleException(Exception anException, WOContext aContext)
{
super.handleException(anException, aContext);
.......

The result of the crash is er.directtoweb.pages.templates.ERD2WMessagePageTemplate being rendered with my PageWrapper.

As there is (I assume) not much D2W involved here how do I trap this error and handle it my way? What am I missing?

Thanks for any idea
