                 Key: MYFACES-1888
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1888
             Project: MyFaces Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.2.3,  1.1.6-SNAPSHOT
            Reporter: Leonardo Uribe
            Assignee: Leonardo Uribe


One possible enhancement to the myfaces error handling capability is catch 
Throwable errors when using myfaces error handling.

This should be done taking into account what the spec says about it:

- Call the execute() method of the saved Lifecycle instance, passing the
FacesContext instance for this request as a parameter. If the execute()
method throws a FacesException, re-throw it as a ServletException with
the FacesException as the root cause.
 Call the render() method of the saved Lifecycle instance, passing the
FacesContext instance for this request as a parameter. If the render() method
throws a FacesException, re-throw

The idea is catch and rethrow non Exception classes like errors (extends from 
Throwable or Error classes directly). If Myfaces error handling is used use it 
to show the error page with the info, taking into account that not all info 
could be available.

The idea is do this on FacesServlet:

        try {
                        _lifecycle.execute(facesContext);

            if (!handleQueuedExceptions(facesContext))
            {
                _lifecycle.render(facesContext);
            }
                }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            handleLifecycleException(facesContext, e);
        }
        catch (Throwable e)
        {
            //Handle Error and Throwable error cases (out-of-memory-errors, 
....).
            handleLifecycleThrowable(facesContext, e);
        }    
        finally
        {
            facesContext.release();
        }

Please note that any change should not break old functionality.
