How to get original exception Object at portlet_error.jsp as it only shows "ABC Portlet Temporarily Unavailble" but i want to print actual Error/Exception
This JSP-file is included in html/portal/render_portlet.jsp, so you can create a simple JSP Hook that overrides this JSP and display the wanted Exception information.

In server log multiple errors can be found like below
java.lang.NullPointerException at
com.sun.faces.lifecycle.RenderResponsePhase.execute(RenderResponsePhase.java:95)
What can be the possible reason for this? Though I tried to recreate in I am unable to recreate after several attempt. Any possible reason or any idea related to this issue?
I need to understand why can we get null pointer exception while rendering response in JSF/Primeface?
primefaces v.3.4.1
javax.faces v.2.1.18
if I check the source code of JSF issue is at this line of source code
ViewDeclarationLanguage vdl =
vh.getViewDeclarationLanguage(facesContext,
facesContext.getViewRoot().getViewId());
javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD is set to server.
Check you xhtml file for any not closed tags or other xml/html issues. For example divs. Id your IDE doesn't do that, then change IDE or use online XML validators.
there is one issue to which i don't find any specific answer. there is an ArrayOutOfBoundException thrown in a setter method called during render response phase since i have the value of that property set in my faces-config. Now, when this happens, it is not redirecting. What i could understand till now is it might be converting this exception to FacesException and so its not redirecting. Any views to handle this ? the call does not seem to be an ajax call too since it is coming when i click on a menu item.
Most of my code is error handled with try/catch and OpenLog (modified to handle SSJS exceptions). Unfortunately, exception in SSJS gives hard to read stack trace.
So I need to pass more info - at least event/method where is the error handler. I can simply put "method XY" argument to every OpenLog.logError call, but this makes every handler unique and prone to errors (programmers love copypasta). It would be nice to have LSI_Info equivalent, what makes error handlers constant (so you can define them as template in Eclipse).
Is there any call, which returns "where I am" info of method/event for SSJS code (including libraries)?
Have a look at the code in the Message class of my debug toolbar (found here on GitHub). I contains a way to 'pretty print' errors and also captures a com.ibm.jscript.InterpretException. I use that to send a formatted error message to an OpenLog event document. It (sort of) mimics the information you get in the default XPage error page.
To see what the formatted error looks like go to my toolbar's demo page and hit the Test 1 or Test 2 button. That will throw a SSJS error that is captured by a custom error form. That form writes a message to the toolbar which is configured to also store error messages in a separate OpenLog database.
(toolbar download can be found here on OpenNTF)
I am using JSF and I have a backing bean method which does some processing and sets a
variable 'outcome' which then decides the next page to navigate to depending on the
faces-config.xml navigation rules.
What I want to do is add parameters to the URL (in the backing bean?) when the next page is navigated to.
However in the Handler where the backing bean method is, there is no reference to the
HttpRequest object. This is an existing handler which has been around for a long time, so I
am wondering how I can do
request.setAttribute("name", value);
Is there a different approach available for JSF? Any help much appreciated.
HI BalusC,
I am trying to implement what you explained below, however I am running into a problem.
This is what I have:
StringBuffer url = ( (HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest()).getRequestURL();
url.append( "?serialNumber=");
url.append(regBean.getSerialNumber());
try{ FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect(url.toString());
}catch (Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
There is no exception generated however I get a 500 Http error "the server has encountered an unknown error." The log shows a little more detail but not enough to be helpful:
ERROR [lifecycle] JSF1054: (Phase ID: INVOKE_APPLICATION 5, View ID: /registration/productValidation.jsp) Exception thrown during phase execution: javax.faces.event.PhaseEvent[source=com.sun.faces.lifecycle.LifecycleImpl#591dae]

Ok, thanks for your comments, I changed some stuff around and now I have:
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect("mypage.jsp?serialNumber=555555");
Upon debugging I can see that the redirect is working since on mypage.htm I am displaying some headers from a resourcebundle (properties file) so when it tried to get the header to display it is encountering a NullPointer on the line below:
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
context is null, so the log shows NullPointer error but the url of the page is correct I can see the address bar showing http://..../mypage.jsp?serialNum=5555 just as expected!
It appears its having trouble just displaying the contents of the page. So close yet so far ;-(
You need to fire ExternalContext#redirect() in the bean action method yourself.
public void submit() {
String url = "page.jsp?name1=value1&name2=value2";
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect(url);
}
If your IDE validator is jerking about the void action method, then you can just ignore it or declare it back to String and put return null; at end of method block.
If you want to set the particular parameters back in some bean in the subsequent request, then you can set them as managed properties in faces-config.xml by #{param.name1} and #{param.name2}.
That said, request attributes should not be confused with request parameters. The request attributes are attached to the current request in the server side only. They are in no way passed to the next request. There you use request parameters for which you can either attach to the redirect URL or include as hidden parameters in a POST form in the response page.
Further, it might be useful to know that you can get a handle of the HttpServletRequest in JSF by ExternalContext#getRequest(). You should however try to avoid to go that far with hauling the "raw" Servlet API from under the JSF hoods. Make use of JSF-provided facilities as many as possible.
JSF 2 added parameters to the navigation handler via the view-param element. From the spec:
If a matching <navigation-case> element was located, and the <redirect/> element was specified in this <navigation-case>, call getRedirectURL() on the ViewHandler, passing the current FacesContext, the <to-view-id>, any name=value parameter pairs specified within <view-param> elements within the element, and the value of the include-view-params attribute of the <redirect /> element if present, false, if not. The return from this method is the value to be sent to the client to which the redirect will occurr. Call getFlash().setRedirect(true) on the current FacesContext. Cause the current response to perform an HTTP redirect to this path, and call responseComplete() on the FacesContext instance for the current request. If the content of <to-view-id> is a value expression, first evaluate it to obtain the value of the view id.
I would like to log the exceptions that are thrown when serving JSF files in the same way other exceptions are logged in our web application.
We annotate classes with logged exceptions with #LoggedExceptions and a MehtodInterceptor is matched against those classes with Guice AOP (This should be very similar for other implementations of aopalliance...)
The main problem is, that the method interceptor does not work. How can i intercept method calls on JSF-backing code?
You must replace the default el-resolver (<el-resolver> in faces-context.xml) with a Guice el-resolver, so that the jsf beans become instantiated by Guide.
Search for "Guice el resolver", or take this one (I can't guarantee it works). Also check this thread.
Also, read the top results of this google search
