There isn't currently a global exception handler. However, pretty much everything in a Pivot app happens in response to an event being fired (mouse move, key press, etc.) . The application context is responsible for passing these events on to the application and could potentially wrap the application calls in a try/catch block. It could further allow the application developer to register a global exception handler that would be called in the case of an exception being thrown.

However, I have to wonder if the JVM or Java Plugin already has a mechanism for handling this. Anyone else know?

Hi,

Having been watching this Flex bug for some time, I was wondering how Pivot
deals with this?
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-444

i.e. is there a global exception handler?

Seems like a show stopper for some Flex users and Sliverlight has a global
OnError handler, so I feel it is something Pivot should either support
explicitly, or document how users can handle global/uncaught
errors/exceptions.

I guess at the moment, the exception log would just appear in the applet's
console via STDOUT/STDERR?  Is that enough?

Cheers,
Chris
