ADF Task Flow Exception Handling

Question

Hi ,
I tried a very simple thing for taskFlow exception handling.
I created a bounded task flow with a page fragment (View1.jsff) and another view which is the TaskFlow ExceptionHandler (error.jsff).
The view1.jsff has a button whose action is bound to the backing bean. In the backingBean method I deliberately do division by 0.
Since this is an unHandled exception, I would have expected the control to come to error.jsff. But, instead I am shown a pop up box with the error message.
Why is the control not getting redirected to error.jsff ?
Thanks.

Hi Frank , im having the same problem.
I want to handle exceptions that occur while navigating task flows (example: A user navigates to a task flow that he/she does not have view permission)
I tried using a view activity and method activity as the exception handler but none of them works, the exception is still not handles. It does not even navigate to the exception handler on the task flow.
on the view page i have:
<af:panelStretchLayout topHeight="50px" id="psl1">
<f:facet name="top">
<af:panelGroupLayout layout="scroll"
xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich"
id="pgl1">
Error message:  
<af:outputText value="#{controllerContext.currentRootViewPort.exceptionData.message}" id="ot2"/>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="center">
<af:outputText value="#{my_exception_Handler.stackTrace}" id="ot1"/>
<!-- id="af_one_column_header_stretched" -->
</f:facet>
</af:panelStretchLayout>
I tried getting the error message and stacktrace from the controllerContext via EL like this "#{controllerContext.currentRootViewPort.exceptionData.message}"
and from the controllerContext class in functions that i have declared in my_exception_Handler class like this
" ControllerContext ctx = ControllerContext.getInstance();
ViewPortContext vCtx = ctx.getCurrentViewPort();
if(vCtx.getExceptionData() != null){
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(stringWriter);
vCtx.getExceptionData().printStackTrace(printWriter);
return stringWriter.toString();"
But all this dont even matter because when the exception occurs on the task flow it does not navigate to the default exception handler.
thanks for your interest and help in advance.
