Martin Kočí commented on MYFACES-3201:
--------------------------------------

Proposition:
* because we  need to queue component and other suitable infos in places where 
exception occured : try - catch every signitificant method on UIComponent and 
publish exception context
* rethrow the exception to break current phase
* ignore the second attempt to queue the same exception

in pseudo code:

UIComponent.processSomething:
try {

} catch (RuntimeException e) {
context.publishExceptionAndComponentAndOtherInfos
throw e; // will break this phase and causes context.renderResponse()
}

and in LifecycleImpl:
try {
lifecycle.process
} catch (Exception e)  // this one is the same as in previous UIComponent code
{
context.publishExceptionButIgnoreIfAlreadyQueued
}


the re-throw of the exception is needed because current phase must be stopped. 
No UIComponent methods have  a return value to indicate that processing has 
failed - we must use an Exception to provide that.

> Requirement: "user should see not just a cryptic stack  trace, but also the 
> component  that   triggered the problem"
> Problem in current code is that first exception breaks current phase and 
> exception in queued without component info.
> I think that every lifecycle method (processDecodes, processValidator etc.) 
> should try catch every exception and publish it for later processing with 
> exception handler.
> Spec does not says it directly but we can find:
> "The exception must not be re-thrown. This enables tree traversal to continue 
> for this lifecycle phase, as in all the other lifecycle phases" from 
> UIInput.updateModel
> "ExceptionHandler is the central point for handling unexpected Exceptions 
> that are thrown during the Faces lifecycle" from ExceptionHandler javadoc
> process* method can silently "do nothing" : UIInput.updateModel does it 
> already.
> Publishing event allows handle multiple problem at once: consider buggy 
> validators/converters -> create more than one exception in queue and coder 
> can see them at once.
> The main parameter of ExceptionQueuedContext is UIComponent and the best 
> place where component is always known is component itself.
