Would it be possible to make the view selection algorithm pluggable, as a Strategy or something like that? Just a thought.

I agree that WW should not select views based on exception class - but (from a web-front-end view) there should be a way for an application to present its own error page (with nice layout and perhaps an "email sysadmin button" on it :). In the current code-base when an exception is thrown in action.execute() a standard web-work page is rendered by ServletDispatcher. There is no (?) way to override this. It would be very useful if one could define an application error page in views.properties on-exception.view=error.jsp or an action-specific exception view HelloAction.on-exception.view=hello_error.jsp this view would receive the exception the normal way (provided the jsp "isErrorPage"). //Anders -- |===================================| | Anders Engström | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | http://www.gnejs.net | |===================================| |Your mind is like an umbrella. | |It doesn't work unless you open it.| | /Frank Zappa | |===================================| ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc.
