Exception handling issue

I have a perplexing question.... I am in the midst of developing an APEX 4.0 application. Customer will NOT be going to4.1 for a while....I wish to have exception handling that will handle both APEX based interactions and some back-end Sql Loader activity.
I have built an Exception handler that has a supporting APEX page to display a more human compatible error page, but am trying to make the exception handler NOT try and call up a page and such if the exception it encounters is a trigger being fired when a # of rows are being bulked loaded..
Simply put.. In the exception handler, how can I have code branch around the fact I might NOT have an APEX application for it to display the error ...
What I'd love to find is an object or variable that tells me what I am running the PL/SQL under..
Thank you,

Jari,
If I try running this from SQL Plus, I would assume it would crash due to fact I am NOT running under APEX and can NOT see the Application object that this function is based upon:
IS_SESSION_VALID Function
This function is a Boolean result obtained from executing the current application's authentication scheme to determine if a valid session exists. This function returns the Boolean result of the authentication scheme's page sentry.
Its like trying to figure out which came 1st, the chicken or the egg...
Thank you,

Issue with exception Handling in GG

Hi,
I have bi-directional DML replication setup. I have written a code in replication parameter for handling the exception , Exception handling is working fine my replicate process is not getting ABENDED but Issue is I am not geeting any rows in EXCEPTION table.I had gone through replicat report, there I had seen GG is trying to inser duplicate records in EXCEPTION TABLE and it is failing because of that .
**Command for create Exception Table is-**
create table ggs_admin.exceptions (

Please help. Why duplicat rows trying to insert in Exception table.

Remove (disable) the constraint on the exceptions table and see if inserts will take place. Do you really need that primary key?

BPM Process - Exception handling or timeout issues?

Hi Guys,
I have a BPM process as below.
1. Receive step: Receive the file with multiple transactions.
2. Transformation step: Split the file into individual transactions
3 Block step which includes -- par for each mode
1. Send Step (Synchronus): Each individual transaction needs to contact the 3rd party system and get the response. -- Do i need to handle any exceptions here ?
2. Container : Collect all the responses
Block ends
4. Transformation: combine all the responses in to a single file
5. Send Step: synchronus -- send the above single file and get the response back
6. Transformation : Transform the above response into the target structure.
7. Send: send the message asynchronusly to the target system
I need suggestion regarding the exceptional handling or any time out issues, i need to take care of.
any suggestions would be really appreciated
Thanks,
Raj

Hi,
I) For the Block holding the Sync Send, create an Exception Block. (right click on Sync Send -> Insert -> Exception Branch)
II) Name the Exception block (ex: exceptionHandler).
III) in the Sync Send step ->Properties -> Exceptions -> in System Error - add exceptionHandler.
IV) Now within the Exception handler block you can create containers to hold values from payload, throw exception as email etc).
This will cover your sync send step incase there is an error while sending the request of a timeout during receiving the response.
You can also do the same for the Step 7) Asycn send - if required.
Another suggestion in your question Step 6) can be done outside the bpm, when you do the interface determination for that Asycn Send you can add the Interface mapping that will map the responses to the target structure.
Doing this will reduce one step in your BPM. For further information in how more you can fine tune your bpm, read this blog - https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/5113. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
All the best.

PL/SQL 101 : Exception Handling

Frequently I see questions and issues around the use of Exception/Error Handling in PL/SQL. More often than not the issue comes from the questioners misunderstanding about how PL/SQL is constructed and executed, so I thought I'd write a small article covering the key concepts to give a clear picture of how it all hangs together. (Note: the examples are just showing examples of the exception handling structure, and should not be taken as truly valid code for ways of handling things)
Exception Handling
Contents
1. Understanding Execution Blocks (part 1)
2. Execution of the Execution Block
3. Exceptions
4. Understanding Execution Blocks (part 2)
5. How to continue exection of statements after an exception
6. User defined exceptions
7. Line number of exception
8. Exceptions within code within the exception block
1. Understanding Execution Blocks (part 1)
The first thing that one needs to understand is almost taking us back to the basics of PL/SQL... how a PL/SQL execution block is constructed.
Essentially an execution block is made of 3 sections...
+---------------------------+
|    Declaration Section    |
+---------------------------+
|    Statements Section    |
+---------------------------+
|     Exception Section     |
+---------------------------+
The Declaration section is the part defined between the PROCEDURE/FUNCTION header or the DECLARE keyword (for anonymous blocks) and the BEGIN keyword. (Optional section)
The Statements section is where your code goes and lies between the BEGIN keyword and the EXCEPTION keyword (or END keyword if there is no EXCEPTION section). (Mandatory section)
The Exception section is where any exception handling goes and lies between the EXCEPTION keyword at the END keyword. (Optional section)
Example of an anonymous block...
DECLARE
.. declarative statements go here ..
BEGIN
.. code statements go here ..
EXCEPTION
.. exception handlers go here ..
END;
Example of a procedure/function block...
[CREATE OR REPLACE] (PROCEDURE|FUNCTION) <proc or fn name> [(<parameters>)] [RETURN <datatype>] (IS|AS)
.. declarative statements go here ..
BEGIN
.. code statements go here ..
EXCEPTION
.. exception handlers go here ..
END;
(Note: The same can also be done for packages, but let's keep it simple)
2. Execution of the Execution Block
This may seem a simple concept, but it's surprising how many people have issues showing they haven't grasped it. When an Execution block is entered, the declaration section is processed, creating a scope of variables, types , cursors, etc. to be visible to the execution block and then execution enters into the Statements section. Each statment in the statements section is executed in turn and when the execution completes the last statment the execution block is exited back to whatever called it.
3. Exceptions
Exceptions generally happen during the execution of statements in the Statements section. When an exception happens the execution of statements jumps immediately into the exception section. In this section we can specify what exceptions we wish to 'capture' or 'trap' and do one of the two following things...
(Note: The exception section still has access to all the declared items in the declaration section)
3.i) Handle the exception
We do this when we recognise what the exception is (most likely it's something we expect to happen) and we have a means of dealing with it so that our application can continue on.
Example...
(without the exception handler the exception is passed back to the calling code, in this case SQL*Plus)
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 declare
2    v_name VARCHAR2(20);
3 begin
4    select ename
5    into   v_name
6    from   emp
7    where empno = &empno;
8    dbms_output.put_line(v_name);
9* end;
SQL> /
Enter value for empno: 123
old   7:   where empno = &empno;
new   7:   where empno = 123;
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at line 4
(with an exception handler, we capture the exception, handle it how we want to, and the calling code is happy that there is no error for it to report)
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 declare
2    v_name VARCHAR2(20);
3 begin
4    select ename
5    into   v_name
6    from   emp
7    where empno = &empno;
8    dbms_output.put_line(v_name);
9 exception
10    when no_data_found then
11      dbms_output.put_line('There is no employee with this employee number.');
12* end;
SQL> /
Enter value for empno: 123
old   7:   where empno = &empno;
new   7:   where empno = 123;
There is no employee with this employee number.
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
3.ii) Raise the exception
We do this when:-
a) we recognise the exception, handle it but still want to let the calling code know that it happened
b) we recognise the exception, wish to log it happened and then let the calling code deal with it
c) we don't recognise the exception and we want the calling code to deal with it
Example of b)
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 declare
2    v_name VARCHAR2(20);
3    v_empno NUMBER := &empno;
4 begin
5    select ename
6    into   v_name
7    from   emp
8    where empno = v_empno;
9    dbms_output.put_line(v_name);
10 EXCEPTION
11    WHEN no_data_found THEN
12      INSERT INTO sql_errors (txt)
13      VALUES ('Search for '||v_empno||' failed.');
14      COMMIT;
15      RAISE;
16* end;
SQL> /
Enter value for empno: 123
old   3:   v_empno NUMBER := &empno;
new   3:   v_empno NUMBER := 123;
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at line 15
SQL> select * from sql_errors;

3    v_empno NUMBER := &empno;

5    select ename

7    from   emp
8    where empno = v_empno;
9    dbms_output.put_line(v_name);
10 EXCEPTION
11    WHEN no_data_found THEN
12      INSERT INTO sql_errors (txt)
13      VALUES ('Search for '||v_empno||' failed.');
14      COMMIT;
15      RAISE;
16    WHEN others THEN
17      RAISE;
18* end;
SQL> /
Enter value for empno: 'ABC'
old   3:   v_empno NUMBER := &empno;
new   3:   v_empno NUMBER := 'ABC';
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
ORA-06512: at line 3
SQL> select * from sql_errors;
TXT
Search for 123 failed.
SQL>
As you can see from the sql_errors log table, no log was written so the WHEN others exception was the exception that raised the error to the calling code (SQL*Plus)
4. Understanding Execution Blocks (part 2)
Ok, so now we understand the very basics of an execution block and what happens when an exception happens. Let's take it a step further...
Execution blocks are not just a single simple block in most cases. Often, during our statements section we have a need to call some reusable code and we do that by calling a procedure or function. Effectively this nests the procedure or function's code as another execution block within the current statement section so, in terms of execution, we end up with something like...
+---------------------------------+
|    Declaration Section          |
+---------------------------------+
|    Statements Section          |
|            .                    |
| +---------------------------+ |
| |    Declaration Section    | |
| +---------------------------+ |
| |    Statements Section    | |
| +---------------------------+ |
| |     Exception Section     | |
| +---------------------------+ |
|            .                    |
+---------------------------------+
|     Exception Section           |
+---------------------------------+
Example... (Note: log_trace just writes some text to a table for tracing)
SQL> create or replace procedure a as
2    v_dummy NUMBER := log_trace('Procedure A''s Declaration Section');
3 begin
4    v_dummy := log_trace('Procedure A''s Statement Section');
5    v_dummy := 1/0; -- cause an exception
6 exception
7    when others then
8      v_dummy := log_trace('Procedure A''s Exception Section');
9      raise;
10 end;

6 exception

8      v_dummy := log_trace('Procedure B''s Exception Section');
9      raise;
10 end;

Likewise, execution blocks can be nested deeper and deeper.
5. How to continue exection of statements after an exception
One of the common questions asked is how to return execution to the statement after the one that created the exception and continue on.
Well, firstly, you can only do this for statements you expect to raise an exception, such as when you want to check if there is no data found in a query.
If you consider what's been shown above you could put any statement you expect to cause an exception inside it's own procedure or function with it's own exception section to handle the exception without raising it back to the calling code. However, the nature of procedures and functions is really to provide a means of re-using code, so if it's a statement you only use once it seems a little silly to go creating individual procedures for these.
Instead, you nest execution blocks directly, to give the same result as shown in the diagram at the start of part 4 of this article.

You can see from this that, very simply, the code that we expected may have an exception was able to either handle the exception and return to the outer execution block to continue execution, or if an unexpected exception occurred then it was able to be raised up to the outer exception section.
6. User defined exceptions
There are three sorts of 'User Defined' exceptions. There are logical situations (e.g. business logic) where, for example, certain criteria are not met to complete a task, and there are existing Oracle errors that you wish to give a name to in order to capture them in the exception section. The third is raising your own exception messages with our own exception numbers. Let's look at the first one...
Let's say I have tables which detail stock availablility and reorder levels...
SQL> select * from reorder_level;
   ITEM_ID STOCK_LEVEL
         1          20
         2          20
         3          10

         4 Stapler              5
         5 Hole Punch           3
SQL>
Now, our Business has told the administrative clerk to check stock levels and re-order anything that is below the re-order level, but not to hold stock of more than 4 times the re-order level for any particular item. As an IT department we've been asked to put together an application that will automatically produce the re-order documents upon the clerks request and, because our company is so tight-ar*ed about money, they don't want to waste any paper with incorrect printouts so we have to ensure the clerk can't order things they shouldn't.

Ok, so that code works, but it's a bit messy with all those nested IF statements. Is there a cleaner way perhaps? Wouldn't it be nice if we could set up our own exceptions...

That's better. And now we don't have to use all those nested IF statements and worry about it accidently getting to code that will print the order out as, once one of our user defined exceptions is raised, execution goes from the Statements section into the Exception section and all handling of errors is done in one place.
Now for the second sort of user defined exception...
A new requirement has come in from the Finance department who want to have details shown on the order that show a re-order 'indicator' based on the formula ((maximum allowed stock - current stock)/re-order quantity), so this needs calculating and passing to the report...

Hmm, there's a problem if the person specifies a re-order quantity of zero. It raises an unhandled exception.
Well, we could put a condition/check into our code to make sure the parameter is not zero, but again we would be wrapping our code in an IF statement and not dealing with the exception in the exception handler.
We could do as we did before and just include a simple IF statement to check the value and raise our own user defined exception but, in this instance the error is standard Oracle error (ORA-01476) so we should be able to capture it inside the exception handler anyway... however...
EXCEPTION
WHEN ORA-01476 THEN
... is not valid. What we need is to give this Oracle error a name.
This is done by declaring a user defined exception as we did before and then associating that name with the error number using the PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT statement in the declaration section.

Exception handling is not working in GCC compile shared object

Hello,
I am facing very strange issue on Solaris x86_64 platform with C++ code compiled usging gcc.3.4.3.
I have compiled shared object that load into web server process space while initialization. Whenever any exception generate in code base, it is not being caught by exception handler. Even though exception handlers are there. Same code is working fine since long time but on Solaris x86, Sparc arch, Linux platform
With Dbx, I am getting following stack trace.
Stack trace is
dbx: internal error: reference through NULL pointer at line 973 in file symbol.cc

[7] main(0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0), at 0x42c39a
I am using following link options.
Compile option is

Link option is
/usr/sfw/bin/g++ -shared -m64 -o apache.so apache.o -lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lpthread -lthread
At line 86, we are just throwing simple exception which have catch handlers in place. Also we do have catch(...) handler as well.
Surpursing things are..same issue didn't observe if we make it as executable.
Issue only comes if this is shared object loaded on webserver. If this is plain shared object, opened by anyother exe, it works fine.
Can someone help me out. This is completly blocking issue for us. Using Solaris Sun Studio compiler is no option as of now.

shared object that load into web server process space
... same issue didn't observe if we make it as executable.When you "inject" your shared object into some other process a well-being of your exception handling depends on that other process.
Mechanics of x64 stack traversing (unwind) performed when you throw the exception is quite complicated,
particularly involving a "nearly-standartized" Unwind interface (say, Unwind_RaiseException).
When we are talking about g++ on Solaris there are two implementations of unwind interface, one in libc and one in libgcc_s.so.
When you g++-compile the executable you get it directly linked with libgcc_s.so and Unwind stuff resolves into libgccs.
When g++-compiled shared object is loaded into non-g++-compiled executable's process _Unwind calls are most likely already resolved into Solaris libc.
Thats why you might see the difference.
Now, what exactly causes this difference can vary, I can only speculate.
All that would not be a problem if _Unwind interface was completely standartized and properly implemented.
However there are two issues currently:
* gcc (libstdc++ in particular) happens to use additional non-standard _Unwind calls which are not present in Solaris libc
naturally, implementation details of Unwind implementation in libc differs to that of libgccs, so when all the standard _Unwind
routines are resolved into Solaris version and one non-standard _Unwind routine is resolved into gcc version you get a problem
(most likely that is what happens with you)
* libc Unwind sometimes is unable to decipher the code generated by gcc.
However that is likely to happen with modern gcc (say, 4.4+) and not that likely with 3.4.3
Btw, you can check your call frame to see where _Unwind calls come from:
where -h -lIf you indeed stomped on "mixed _Unwind" problem then the only chance for you is to play with linker
so it binds Unwind stuff from your library directly into libgccs.
Not tried it myself though.

__Fedor.

Using Exception Handler in an ADF Task Flow

Exception handling for Null/Incorrect input parameters

Hi,
My BI Publisher report has input parameter name as <region>. It is a text field and is mandatory parameter.
But if I run the report without giving value to the parameter it gives the error "The report cannot be rendered because of an error, please contact the administrator."
How can I handle this scenario so that User defined message is displayed, asking user to give correct input.
I am using Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.3.3
Is there some documentation available for Exception Handling/How to display User defined messages in case of error?
My requirement is that after displaying the error message (say for example "Please enter Region name"), the report processing should stop there only and it should not display the blank pages of the rest of the PDF template.
Thanks in advance.

Exception Handling in bounded taskflows - expected behaviour

Hi,
I'm currently reviewing exception handling in bounded task flows and some things does not seems to be very clear for me.
(q1) Does it make sense that a bounded task flow calls a method (via a method activity) defined on the page definition of another page (outside of the BTF) by using a #{data.xxxmyPageDef.myMethodName.execute} EL expression?
(q2) Is is correct to expect the application to execute the method marked as ExceptionHandler in the taskflow, whenever an exception occurs?
(q3) I created 5 different scenarios where I call a service method which throws an exception, from within a page fragment of the BTF.
(q3 – sc1) Call a service method through the binding layer of the current page (by using #{bindings.xxx.execute})
Result: A dialog containing the exception message appears.
This is what I expected. Althought, the exception handler method does not seems to be invoked.(q3 – sc2) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{bindings.xxx.execute}
Result: A dialog containing the exception message appears.
This is what I expected. Althought, the exception handler method does not seems to be invoked.(q3 – sc3) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{data.myPageFragementPagedef.xxx.execute} (accessing the pageDef of the page fragment)
Result: Nothing happens.
This is not what I expected. Although, the exception handler method does nog seems to be invoked, I expect the ADF Error Handler to create a FacesMessage.(q3 – sc4) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{data.myPageContainingThePageFragmentPageDef.xxx.execute} (accessing the page containing the BTF region)
Result: Nothing happens.
This is not what I expected. Although, the exception handler method does nog seems to be invoked, I expect the ADF Error Handler to create a FacesMessage. (q3 – sc5) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{data.aPageOutsideTheBTFPageDef.xxx.execute} (accessing a page outside the BTW)
Result: Nothing happens.
This is not what I expected. Although, the exception handler method does nog seems to be invoked, I expect the ADF Error Handler to create a FacesMessage. (q4) How can it be possible that – without an exception handler – exceptions occur when calling method activities, without the exceptions being translated to FacesMessages?
Thanks in advance,

Koen,
+(q1) Does it make sense that a bounded task flow calls a method (via a method activity) defined on the page definition of another page (outside of the BTF) by using a #{data.xxxmyPageDef.myMethodName.execute} EL expression?+
No. Exceptions should be handled locally.
+(q2) Is is correct to expect the application to execute the method marked as ExceptionHandler in the taskflow, whenever an exception occurs?+
Only for exceptions that are before Render Response. The Render Response Phase is not handled in ADFc. So exceptions that occur in managed beans may fall through
+(q3) I created 5 different scenarios where I call a service method which throws an exception, from within a page fragment of the BTF.+
+(q3 – sc1) Call a service method through the binding layer of the current page (by using #{bindings.xxx.execute}) Result: A dialog containing the exception message appears.+
This is what I expected. Althought, the exception handler method does not seems to be invoked.
The binding layer has an error handler you can override in the DataBinings.cpx file
+(q3 – sc2) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{bindings.xxx.execute}+
Result: A dialog containing the exception message appears.
This is what I expected. Althought, the exception handler method does not seems to be invoked.
Again, you use the binding layer to invoke the service
+(q3 – sc3) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{data.myPageFragementPagedef.xxx.execute} (accessing the pageDef of the page fragment)+
Result: Nothing happens.
This is not what I expected. Although, the exception handler method does nog seems to be invoked, I expect the ADF Error Handler to create a FacesMessage.
Never use such a call. Its bad practice as there is no guarantee the container you reference is active. Always have the method call activity have its own binding defined when accessing a method call activity. I know there are lots of example floating aroundthat you #{data ...} and many are from 10.1.3. This should be avoided alltogether though
+(q3 – sc4) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{data.myPageContainingThePageFragmentPageDef.xxx.execute} (accessing the page containing the BTF region)+
Result: Nothing happens.
This is not what I expected. Although, the exception handler method does not seems to be invoked, I expect the ADF Error Handler to create a FacesMessage.
Again, this is not a proper use of the ADF framework.
+(q3 – sc5) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{data.aPageOutsideTheBTFPageDef.xxx.execute} (accessing a page outside the BTW)+
Result: Nothing happens. This is not what I expected. Although, the exception handler method does nog seems to be invoked, I expect the ADF Error Handler to create a FacesMessage.
accessing a page outside the BTW (!!!) This should ring a worst practices alarm on your laptop (obviously doesn't do it either)
+(q4) How can it be possible that – without an exception handler – exceptions occur when calling method activities, without the exceptions being translated to FacesMessages?+
Exceptions are not handled in a single place but stacked. The business service raises an exception and passes it to the binding layer if not handled. The binding layer handles the exception and if it can't passes it to ADFc. ADFc can handle this exception if it is not during Render Response.
Bottom line: There is no single point of exception handling. So as a recommendation for best practices
- Catch and handle exceptions as close as possible to their origins
- If things can go wrong, thy will - use try/catch blocks in managed beans
- Use an exception handling activity in all bounded task flows. In the case of task flow call activities being used exceptions can bubble up to the caller. However, this would take users out of their current application context
- Exceptions not handled in ADFc can be intercepted by overriding the application task flow exception handler (used by the exception handler activities). This would give you a chance e.g. to handle issues during Render Response
- Never fight the framework, never bend the framework: Don't use out of scope access to page definitions and resources. Exception handling is not a replacement for bad code practices (sorry for saying this, its not meant to be rude) :-)
Though I don't have a qualified numbers of bugs open for exception handling in ADF between 11.1.1.4 and now (and some that are open), but there are issues reported in this area. If there is something that really feels wrong, please go ahead and file a bug and provide a test case for development to have a look. The Render Response issue, for example is something we are aware of and that is in discussion (afaik knows, there is a change in exception handling in JSF 2 that may have an impact to what we can do in ADFc).
thanks

Exception handling in App. package PeopleCode

Hi,
I am accessing a table that is on remote database using DBLink for an update/insert operation using SQLExec. I am trying to implement exception handling to account for the scenario where the remote database is offline so that transaction can continue. However when I use the try-catch block in the app. package PeopleCode somehow the processing does not seem to move forward from the error. The App. pacakage code is triggered by the handler of the service operation. The goal is to simply skip the SQLExec if the table is not available. I am not sure if there is any limitation to the fatal SQL errors which the try-catch can handle.
As expected i get below error when running select on a view which has remote table in the SQL developer as remote database is down.
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
Has anyone enconutered similar issue with exception handling and best way to move forward in this scenario.
Any response is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Gireesh

I did this with PL/SQL once. Basically, you want to know if the remote database is available before you execute SQL against it. Here is my function. You can then SQLExec something like select 'x' from dual where my_package.link_available('the_link_name') = 1. If you get a result, then the db link is active. If you don't, it is not active.
FUNCTION LINK_AVAILABLE(pv_name VARCHAR2)
RETURN NUMBER AS
        lv_result PLS_INTEGER;
        lv_name   VARCHAR2(128);
    BEGIN
        lv_name := UPPER(pv_name);
        -- parameter check to avoid SQL injection with dynamic SQL below
        -- if the following selects no rows, it will fall through to exception
        -- and return 0;
        SELECT 1
          INTO lv_result
          FROM ALL_DB_LINKS
         WHERE DB_LINK = lv_name;
        -- if we made it this far, then the parameter was a valid db link name
        -- execute SQL to test
        EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT 1 FROM PS_INSTALLATION@' || lv_name INTO lv_result;
        RETURN lv_result;
    EXCEPTION
        WHEN OTHERS THEN
            RETURN 0;
END LINK_AVAILABLE;

Exception handling in JSF

This question has been asked time and again, without any clear answers to it. I would appreciate if some one can help me on this.
I am developing a web application with the following architecture:
JSF page calls backing bean methods which calls the service methods. Now my service methods can throw different exceptions like ValidationException, BusinessException, SystemException etc.
Now, what i want to do is : If Validation/Business Exceptions are thrown show the error messages to the user on the same page from which the action was called. And if a SystemException is thrown navigate to a default error page.
How can i handle this thing? Any clues?

Thanks for the reply BalusC,
I checked the log files (application log as well as server log) also and there is no other stack trace besides of the exception which i am throwing. Let me elaborate on the exact issue:
I am trying to handle concurrency issues in my application. For example, When two users simultaneously try to edit the same record, the user who first saves the changes successfully. Now when the second user tries to save the changes i want to show him a message that "This record has been modified after you opened it for edit. Please refresh your page and reapply the changes". To show this message i am throwing a BusinessException from my service, which in turn gets propagated to my saveAction method. The saveAction method needs to handle this exception and somehow should show the above message to the user.
To achieve this,
1. i tried catching the exception in my saveAction and added the necessary faces message to FacesContext object. But it does not work. Later i read the reason behind this too, that in the invoke application phase a new context will be created and the messages will not be available to it.
2. I then added the throws clause to my saveAction method, so that my default exception handler will handle it.
saveAction method signature :
public String saveAction () throws BusinessException {
    //some code here for save
    return null;
}This is my code for the ErrorHandler.jsp:
<body>
        <h1 style="color: red">Error</h1><br/><%
             // print stack trace.
            ExceptionHandler exceptionHandler = new ExceptionHandler();
             // unwrap ServletExceptions.
            while (exception instanceof ServletException || exception instanceof FacesException ||
                    exception instanceof ApplicationException) {
                if(exception instanceof ServletException) {
                    exception = ((ServletException) exception).getRootCause();
                } else if(exception instanceof FacesException) {
                    exception = ((FacesException) exception).getCause();
                } else if(exception instanceof ApplicationException) {
                    exception = ((ApplicationException) exception).getCause();
%><font color="red"><%=exceptionHandler.handleException(exception)%></font><br/></body>and this is my code for the handleException method defined in the ExceptionHandler.java:
public static String getMessage(final String msgKey, final Object args[]) {
        String message = messages.getProperty(msgKey);
        if(args != null) {
            final String replaceArgs[] = (String[]) args;
            for(int i = 0; i < replaceArgs.length; i++)
                message = message.replaceFirst("{" + i + "}", replaceArgs);
return message;
public String handleException(final Throwable exception) {
logger.debug("handleException called..");
String errorMessage = "Unknown error occured.";
String stackTrace = "Stacktrace can not be found. Please check the logs for more details.";
String errorString = null;
final StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
if(exception != null) {
exception.printStackTrace (new PrintWriter (stringWriter));
stackTrace = stringWriter.toString();
errorMessage = getMessage(exception.getMessage(), null);
errorString = "<b>" + errorMessage + "</b> <br> </br> <br> <input id=\"show\" type=\"button\" value=\"Show Details >>\" onClick=\"toggle();\" /> <div id=\"errorStackTrace\" style=\"display:none;\" > <pre>" + stackTrace + "</pre> </div>";
return errorString;
With the help of this code, i am simply trying to navigate to the error page if an exception occurs and display the appropriate error message with the stacktrace.
The strange thing is, the ErrorHandler.jsp page correctly gets called, which in turn calls the handleException method which returns the formatted error string. (I checked this by adding log statements everywhere). But the system does not actually navigates to the ErrorHandler.jsp page and shows an alert with the following message : "Request error, status : 500 Internal Server Error message : "
Can someone help me figure out what exactly the problem is?

Exception Handling in C++ generate core

Hi Santinu,
I saw your question and thought of replying you, but I guess you might have got the solution by now as because the post date of your question is around a year back.
You need to change $LOAD so that id uses CC instead of cc. There's a compatibility issue.
LOAD=$(CC_20) -G -z lazyload -o $(OBJDIR)/mod_wl_20.so $(LIB_20) $(OBJDIR_20)/mod_weblogic.o
LOAD128=$(CC_20) -G -o $(OBJDIR)/mod_wl128_20.so $(LIB128_20) $(OBJDIR_20)/mod_weblogic.o
Hope this Helps.
Thanks

Exception Handling in the OBI EE 10.1.3.4

Hi All,
Is it possible to implement the exception handling in the OBI EE 10.1.3.4
For Ex: Instead of displaying the below error, is it possible to display it in the meaningful way
[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27002] Near : Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT SALES_FACT.SALES_AMOUNT, TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, TIMESTAMP ‘1900-01-01 12:00:00’, TIMESTAMP ‘1900-01-01 12:00:00’), TIME_DIM.BUSINESS_DATE FROM SALES
Thanks in Advance

Hi Deepak,
Thank you for responding to the query that i have raised.
As you mentioned that ORA: errors will help in diagnosing the issue.
Do you mean that it will help in diagnosing the issue at the BMM larey & Physical layer join conditions.
Thanks in Advance

Step repeated in Exception branch requires exception handler, why?

I have a BPM Integration process with a sync send step calling a RFC. Any system errors and application errors are handled by an exception branch where I send an alert as then re-do the send step (so that it will fail but allow me to restart from that point after fixing the issue). The problem I am having is that in this send step, since it is mandatory to have an exception handler for application errors (defined fault message RFC.Exception), what do I enter for exception handler in this send step which is itself in an exception branch? I do not want to handle the exception this second time since I want this step to fail and process stops here to be able to restart manually later.

Hi,
I am not sure, how you will restart the step manually? Because once there is an error in the sync send, the message will turn to "Cancelled" status. You cannot restart this message.
Now, for the second send step in the exception block you will not be able to choose the same exception block in the exception handler field. But for some reason if this send also fails then you cannot restart the process manually - same reason i mentioned above. It will fail as you intended it to do so.

     return sum/number; // (18)
Output
=======================
Computing average.
Finally in printAverage().
0
Finally in main().
Exit main().

Because return statements in finally blocks are evil!
int average = 0;
try
{ // (8)
     average = computeAverage(totalSum, totalNumber); // (9)
     System.out.println("Average = " + // (10)
               totalSum + " / " + totalNumber + " = " + average);
     return average;
catch (IllegalArgumentException iae)
{ // (11)
     iae.printStackTrace(); // (12)
     System.out.println("Exception handled in " + // (13)
               "printAverage().");
     throw new IllegalArgumentException();
finally
     System.out.println("Finally in printAverage()."); // (14)
     return average; // (15)
}You get an exception at (9), but finally is guaranteed to be executed, so the JVM executes it. Now you return in your finally block (15), and the JVM is left with the choice of executing your return statement or propagating the exception. Since, as said, finally is guaranteed to be executed, it returns and swallows the exception.
That's why IMHO return statements in finally blocks should not be allowed.
(Some compilers issue warnings)
If you move your return statement out of the finally block, it will work as you'd expect it.

Custom code as an exception handler not working.

Hi,
I worked on Custom Handler for unauthorized access to a taskflow following the link below and it worked. But a special case in this doesn't work.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31974/taskflows_complex.htm#ADFFD22602
Scenario-1: I have a link that opens an unauthorized taskflow as blank page. I tried the solution of custom handler and am able to display message or display error page --- WORKS FINE
Scenario-2: I have a link that opens an unauthorized taskflow in a pop-up as blank page. The above solution doesn't work. I tried displaying SOPs but nothing gets print --- DOESN'T WORK.
Details:
The custom handler doesn't work with Pop-ups. I have an unauthorized taskflow that gets called inside a pop-up using a link. Being an unauthorized user, I click on the link and it pops-up with a blank page. As per the custom handler it is supposed to display error-page. But it doesn't.
I tried displaying SOPs inside the handleException method and nothing prints. The exception handler is unable to catch the exception. If this use-case throws some exception, my exception handler would have handle it but it doesn't raise any exception.
Is this something issue that I need to discuss with FMW team?
Any workaround for this would be of great help.
Code Sample:
public void handleException(FacesContext facesContext, Throwable throwable,
PhaseId phaseId) throws Throwable {
String errorMessage = throwable.getMessage();
if (errorMessage != null && errorMessage.indexOf("ADFC-0619") > -1) {
setEL("#{sessionScope.errorMessage}",
"You are not authorized to view this page.");
ExternalContext externalContext =
facesContext.getExternalContext();
externalContext.redirect("ErrorPage");
} else {
super.handleException(facesContext, throwable, phaseId);
Thanks

Hi Frank,
This scenario is not specific to a particular TaskFlow. In General, there are links in some views, that invokes taskflows and a particular user may not have permission to that TaskFlow. In this scenario, I am not sure where I need to define the method or router. And Hence I registered the Custom Exception Handler as a service as per the documentation.
But the logic in documentation doesn't work with Pop-ups.
Thanks
Raza
