ActionComponent swallows exceptions
-----------------------------------
Key: WW-3215
URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-3215
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Other
Affects Versions: 2.1.7, 2.1.6
Environment: Freemarker
Reporter: Jasper Rosenberg
Fix For: 2.0.15, 2.1.8
We render sub-portions of our pages using s.action. Unfortunately, when one of
these fails, rather than ending up with a 500 error (and in our own
error/exception handling code), the user gets a partially rendered page. This
is because ActionComponent.executeAction() catches and logs all exceptions, but
never rethrows them:
} catch (Exception e) {
String message = "Could not execute action: " + namespace + "/" +
actualName;
LOG.error(message, e);
}
There could be a parameter added of course to request that exceptions be
swallowed for case where a partial render might be fine, or executeResult is
false and they don't care if it fails, but it does seem like that would be
better handled explicitly in the action being invoked instead.
