Hi,
Does anyone have any examples/advice re implementing an error handling approach. In particular the requirements/idea I had regarding passing exceptions/error’s from the model layer back to the controller layer is that:
-
common exception method to be used across all models/controllers
-
this method handles (a) logging error to logs for developer later (b) providing an approach user error message, (c) helping the controller what to do next [ e.g. is error recoverable, let user try again or not], and (d) triggers a pager/SMS message for high priority items
-
parameters for error method:
-
user facing error message (to be used in a view)
-
developer focused error message
-
stack trace / error detail (e.g. SQL error message, etc) - i.e. technical detail re root cause hopefully
-
priority (ERROR / CRITICAL) - controller uses to determine whether to stay on same view page (e.g. error) or that it is a system error (CRITICAL) so just take user back to home page afterwards. This could also be used to determine a pager message to the developer should be fired off or not
-
Any comments/suggestions sample code would be appreciated.
Regards Greg
