Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-916:
--------------------------------------
But, of course, this would still require a change to user applications (to add
the new "setDisplay" method). Hmmm. Let me think about this some more. I
still hope there can be a better way than to change all user applications in
order to make this work.
> Replace DesktopApplicationContext.displayException calls with

> 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.
