Leonardo Uribe commented on MYFACES-2216:
-----------------------------------------

It seems to be a misunderstanding about the javadoc of 
javax.faces.event.MethodExpressionActionListener and 
MethodExpressionValueChangeListener

the javadoc says:

Throws:
    java.lang.NullPointerException 
    AbortProcessingException - Signal the JavaServer Faces implementation that 
no further processing on the current event should be performed

But the real intention is that if the cause is by an AbortProcessingException, 
no further processing should be performed. Otherwise (like a RuntimeException), 
an error is thrown.

The new code in both classes is this:

        try
        {
            Object[] params = new Object[]{event};
            methodExpression.invoke(elContext(), params);
        }
        catch (ELException e)
        {
            Throwable cause = e.getCause();
            if (cause != null && cause instanceof AbortProcessingException)
            {
                throw (AbortProcessingException)cause;
            }
            else
            {
                throw e;
            }
        }

Like in 1.1.

> Mojarra logs the exception at least (twice, in fact). But IMHO unhandled 
> exceptions should make it to the top-level to be handled by custom error 
> handlers or phase listeners. The spec is not explicit about unhandled 
> exceptions in ActionListeners. Sec 3.4.7 ("Event broadcasting") simply states:
> During event broadcasting, a listener processing an event may:
> * Examine or modify the state of any component in the component tree.
> * Add or remove components from the component tree.
> * Add messages to be returned to the user, by calling addMessage on the
> FacesContext instance for the current request.
> * Queue one or more additional events, from the same source component or a 
> different one,
> for processing during the current lifecycle phase.
> * Throw an AbortProcessingException, to tell the JSF implementation that no
> further broadcast of this event, or any further events, should take place.
> * Call renderResponse() on the FacesContext instance for the current 
> request.[...]
> * Call responseComplete() on the FacesContext instance for the current 
> request.[...]
> The best solution, IMHO, would be that MyFaces stores the unhandled exception 
> in its internal queued exception list (request param 
> "org.apache.myfaces.errorHandling.exceptionList") so that it won't get lost 
> and can be inspected by custom code later.
