--------------------------------
Summary: Replace DesktopApplicationContext.displayException calls
with ApplicationContext.handleUncaughtException
Key: PIVOT-916
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-916
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Karel Hübl
There should be consistent way to handle uncaught exceptions in Pivot
applications.
However uncaught exceptions thrown in DesktopApplicationContext class (for
example in application.startup ) are handled using private static method
displayException, which displays dialog and its logic cannot be overriden.
May be ApplicationContext.handleUncaughtException could be made protected and
calls to DesktopApplicationContext.displayException could be replaced by
ApplicationContext.handleUncaughtException. And possibly Application.Adapter
could implement UncaughtExceptionHandler - so current
DesktopApplicationContext.displayException logic could be moved to new
Application.Adapter.uncaughtExceptionThrown method.
This should enable to override uncaught exception handling globally in pivot
applications.
Motivation:
We deploy Pivot app using Java Web Start. Users have by default disabled Java
Console (and they are not familiar with it). We want to display custom dialog
to handle uncaught exceptions displaying full stack trace and with possiblity
to report exception to help desk.
I think, in current implementation it is not possible to override handling of
uncaught exceptions thrown during application init and other specific
situations.
