Justin Edelson updated SLING-3709:
----------------------------------
Component/s: Extensions
> Sling Models: Allow caller to deal with exceptions
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-3709
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3709
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Extensions
> Affects Versions: Sling Models Implementation 1.0.4, Sling Models
> Implementation 1.0.6
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Labels: models
>
> Currently due to the specification of the adaptTo-method to return null if
> adaptation is not possible, the caller is not notified about any exceptions
> (because they are caught within the ModelAdapterFactory).
> This is e.g. necessary to deal with validation exceptions properly (i.e.
> required field injection not possible). The problem was also discussed
> briefly in
> http://apache-sling.73963.n3.nabble.com/Silng-Models-Validation-Framework-td4033411.html.
> All exceptions either being thrown by the
> @PostConstruct method or caused by the field/method injection are not
> propagated but basically swallowed by Sling Models.
> It would be great to be able to catch those exceptions either in the view or
> in a servlet filter. I think it should be possible to throw unchecked
> exceptions in the ModelAdapterFactory.getFactory() method if it is requested
> (i.e. through a global OSGi configuration flag for Sling Models).
> WDYT?
> Would you accept such a patch or do you think this breaks the API (also
> compare with
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2712?focusedCommentId=13561516&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13561516).
> If it does not work through the adaptTo, SlingModels should provide an
> alternative way of instanciating models (and propagating exceptions),
> although this is kind of tricky, because it internally relies on adaptTo as
> well (e.g. in
> https://github.com/apache/sling/blob/trunk/bundles/extensions/models/impl/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/models/impl/ModelAdapterFactory.java#L647)
