Interface ExceptionHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:

LoggingExceptionHandler

public interface ExceptionHandler

An exception handler allows you to perform custom actions when an exception propagates out of the servlet handler chain. The default handler will simply log the exception, however it is possible to write custom handlers to handle the error however you want. A common use for this would be to change the log format for exceptions, or possibly suppress the logging for certain exceptions types.

Implementations of this interface may also choose to suppress error page handler, and handle error page generation internally by returning true

Method Detail

handleThrowable

boolean handleThrowable(io.undertow.server.HttpServerExchange exchange,
                        javax.servlet.ServletRequest request,
                        javax.servlet.ServletResponse response,
                        Throwable throwable)

Handles an exception. If this method returns true then the request/response cycle is considered to be finished, and no further action will take place, if this returns false then standard error page redirect will take place. The default implementation of this simply logs the exception and returns false, allowing error page and async context error handling to proceed as normal.

Parameters:

exchange - The exchange

request - The request

response - The response

throwable - The exception

Returns:

true true if the error was handled by this method
