Global Error Handling - Possible?

Hi there!
Does anyone know if it's possible to catch unhandled errors
that occur in a flex application globally?
The Application.error event allows you to capture Error
Events that arise when communication with the outside world fails
for one reason or another, but as much as I've googled I haven't
been able to find anything for capturing coding errors such as
nullpointers etc. at runtime without wrapping every single line of
code with a try-catch.
In an ideal world I would like to catch these errors and
report them for logging on the server. Has anyone managed to
achieve this without resorting to try-catch-spamming?
The Flex-application in question is a central part of an
e-commerse system so it's rather silly that live errors remain
largely untracked...
Your thoughts would be highly appreciated!

Flex bug in global error handling

My application's global error handler (uncaught error handler) works mostly, but I found a case where it doesn't work, but should. Before I filed an official bug report I wanted to post the issue here.
Here is the issue: in a module, ErrorEvents that are not listened for and are dispatched by a Flex component are never caught in the application's uncaught error handler.
I have a sample project that demonstrates this. Here is the module in my test case:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Module xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
             xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
             xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
<fx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        private function onClickSparkDispatch():void {
            dispatchEvent( new ErrorEvent( ErrorEvent.ERROR, false, false, "test" ) );   // this isn't caught in the uncaught error handler
        private function onClickNonSparkDispatch():void {
            var nonSparkDispatcher:EventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher();
            nonSparkDispatcher.dispatchEvent( new ErrorEvent( ErrorEvent.ERROR, false, false, "test" ) ); // this is caught in the uncaught error handler
    ]]>
</fx:Script>
    <s:HGroup>
        <s:Button label="Module Spark Dispatch (broken)" click="onClickSparkDispatch()" />
        <s:Button label="Module Non-Spark Dispatch" click="onClickNonSparkDispatch()" />
    </s:HGroup>
</s:Module>
Using Flex 4.6

Uncaught error handler (global error handling) not working in Chrome FP 10.1.103.22

A few days ago I very happily discovered the new global error handling available in flash-player (FP) 10.1
Now while all works well in Firefox (using Adobe's FP 10.1.102.64), nothing happens in Chrome (using Google's FP 10.1.103.22).
I can disable Google's FP using the "about:plugins" page in Chrome, restart the browser, and then everything works since the browser falls back to the other flash plugin installed, which is again Adobe's FP 10.1.102.64.
Is this a known bug?

Don't tell me the uncaught error handler only works for a debugger version....??
The documentation, which I read quite carefully, doesn't have a word on this. It suggests rather the opposite:
"When content is running in a debugger version of the runtime, such as the debugger version of Flash Player or the AIR Debug Launcher (ADL), an uncaught error dialog appears when an uncaught error happens. For those runtime versions, the error dialog appears even when a listener is registered for the uncaughtError event. To prevent the dialog from appearing in that situation, call the UncaughtErrorEvent object's preventDefault() method."

Global Error Handling in Flex

Hello All,
I want to know if there is away to do Global Error Handling in Flex so that in case of any error, the pop-up (showing the exception stack trace) on the client machine should not come, instead I would be able to handle the exception in a more subtle manner.
Can I do something at the application level to prevent this ?? or should it be handled in each Flex method individually, code enclosed between try-catch blocks ?
Thanks & Regards,
Agraj

Global error handling

I need to make sure I am handling all (my code and SDKs) errors in my Flex application. What's a way of global error management in Flex? Thanks

Here is my code:
in main appication:
creationComplete="globalErrorHandler(event)"
protected function globalErrorHandler(event:Event):void
                                        systemManager.loaderInfo.uncaughtErrorEvents.addEventListener(UncaughtErrorEvent.UNCAUGHT _ERROR, onUncaughtError);
                                        systemManager.loaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onUncaughtError);
                                        systemManager.loaderInfo.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, onUncaughtError);
Somewhere at the run time I am generating an unhandled error. I see FP's popup error window and the same error goes into flashlog.txt, but I dont see it getting into onUncaughtError function. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Global error handler

When ever I hit an error in my Flex app, I get a window
appear that shows the error and the call stack. What we really need
to do is capture that error, and instead of putting up a big window
with all the details, save the error details in our back-end
database and present the user with a reference number. Is there a
way to specify a handler for all errors in Flex 2.0?
Thanks,
Ed.

I asked about this a while ago in the Flexcoders list and was
met with complete silence. I'm thinking it's just not available
right now.

Global error handling question.

Hello! I've implemented error reporting logic in my app, so when some error occurs the email has been sent with error message, and error id. But it would be nice to locate error place (line number), i know that there is getStackTrace() method of error obj, but it works only if I run app from Flex Builder. How we can implement it in release build app?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Moved to the Multiscreen development forum. I don't know of a way to do this but I'm hoping it will get more responses here.

Error Handling - displaying Error on ALL error events

I am trying to set up a global error handling page error.cfm so that whenever any error at all occurs I can display my error.cfm page.
At first I tried the following in the application.cfm page, and then ran a page that tried to output a variable that did not exist, and it seemed to work:
<cferror type = "EXCEPTION" exception = "any" template = "error.cfm">
But then it just decided not to work, so I added these
<cferror type = "REQUEST" template = "error.cfm">
<cferror type = "VALIDATION" template = "error.cfm">
Is there a way to make sure that all errors are handled? Am I right in putting all 3 of these in the application.cfm or do I need more (or less?)
Thanks
Mark

It just didn't react to the error, by going to error.cfm, it just threw out the usual CF error as if I had not added CFERROR
With those 3 statements in there is seems to work, but I wanted to make sure that no matter what error occurs it's going to hit the error.cfm

Handling global error

Hi,
I'm using coldfusion (application.cfc) and flex. How can I track any global error from my flex app?
i would like to display a friendly error to the user and send me an email, is this posible?

I'm using flex SDK 3.5 under flash builder 4. I believe 3.5 sdk use flash 9 correct?
Is anything for that version?
Thanks for your help and reply.

Global event handler for preinitialize

Is there anyway to add a global event handler on the
components preinitialize event?
What I need to do is to be able to enable / disable, and show
/ hide component dynamically based on a access list. My plan was to
have a global event handler that listens to the preinitialize
event, at that time, checks if the user has access to the component
or not. If not, I'll disable / hide the component.
What I did so far is:
in my main app.mxml file, I have:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
preinitialize="preinit(event)"
so the preinit() function is invoked on the app's
preinitialize event.
Then I have the preinit() function (see attached code below).
However, it does work as there is no trace message printed.
I changed to use KeyBoardEvent.KEY_DOWN and that seems
working when I press any key.
I also tried to use the app.stage.addEventListener() but the
stage object is null in the preinitialize event.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you for follow up on my question.
I do know these two properties. But that does not solve the
problem. Let me explain it with an example.
That's say, when the user logs in, I loads the access list.
Then the app displays a panel with some form entries. If I am able
to register a global event listener for the component
initialization events, I can check the permission and optionally
hide some components. Otherwise, I would need to programmatically
travels my component tree to evaluate each component individually
to set there visible/includeInLayout properties, which is error
prone.
The problem is that the component is visible to one user but
would be hidden to another, so it can not be set at the design
time.
The approach I am using right now is to extend the default
components to add an event listener. But I'd like to know if it is
possible to register a global event listener to be notified when
any component is created. As my first post says, I tried to use the
systemManager and listen to the PREINITIALIZE event, but that
didn't get always get invoked.

Error Handling in info-package strangely doesn't work

Dear All,
I'm trying to load master-data from R3 containing time-dependent attributes which, I know, are sometimes overlapping. As I still want to load the correct part of data, i've set Processing - via PSA and Error Handling - "Updating valid records, reporting possible" with number of errors more than the dataset itself. However, the load still fails and what is more interesting, all records in PSA are marked as "green" whereas the errors are reported in a log.
And what makes me wonder even more is that the same info-package from the same DS is loaded in a test system OK - with errors handled and "trashed" in PSA and remaining updated in Info-Object MD.
Does anybody can help to resolve this strange problem as i can't honestly see the difference in global settings of test and productive systems that could allow this...
Thank you in advance

Hi,
Here you are extracting data for master data with one of the attribute as time dependent . So there are two more fileds are neccessary in extraction ,i.e, 'from date' and 'to date'.
And it seems there is overlapping of this range for two records. Make sure it in PSA with record numbers. And make sure there will be no overlapping.
With rgds,

Error Handling in Struts

Hi all,
I am using Struts framework in one of my projects.
How do i implement Error handling using global Exceptions of config file?
Now i am using a different method. But Still i can't catch all the errors Properly.
Is it possible to handle all types of errors using globalExceptions( including null pointer Exception)?
Pls Sugst me.

Try using this...
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();

Exit from CIN within Error Handling Sub-Function

I have a CIN which has the code divided betwee the CINRun() function, a number of other functions & a #included .C file. I want to put some error handling into my CIN, so if an error occurs I want execution to return from the CIN to LabVIEW immediately... however, my error handling is currently done in one of the other functions, and may be called from CINRun,
functions, or the #included .C file. Is there any neat/handy/nice way of universally/globally breaking out of or bombing out of the CIN if the error handling code gets called?

You seem to want to do structured ecxeption handling. This however is something only really supported by C++ and other object oriented languages. Standard C can do that only with quite some header macro magic and in general is done in a way, patented by Borland, if I remember correctly. To make things more complicated, writing CINs in C++ is not supported by LabVIEW and requires quite some knowledge about your specific compiler environment and linker to get it right on your own, and no NI won't support C++ creation of CINs.
You will prabably have to modify your C code quite a bit to get it the way you want. Considering that you will have to make more or less involved changes to your C code anyhow, I would recommend you look into creating a shared library instead and calling that through the Call Library Node. CINs are from the past and support for them will be getting less and less with time as it adds almost no advantages to shared libraries anymore and has some disadvantages in comparison, such as proprietary solution, difficult to support and possible compatibility issues in the future.

Report and Alert don't executed in the error handler with a JMS proxy service

Hi,
I'm working with OSB 11.1.1.4.0 and I'm facing a problem with the error handler of my JMS proxy service.
My error handler contains two main elements :
- a Report action
- an Alert with a JMS destination defined
When the business service failed the message remain in the queue. It's the expected behavior.
The problem is :
- the report is missing
- the alert is raised but missing in the JMS destination defined in the Alert setting.
I've noticed if I add a Reply with Failure or Success, Report and Alert are successfully executed.
Unfortunately the message don't remain in the JMS queue.
What can I do in order to have my report/alert done and the JMS transaction rollback in order to keep the message in the queue ?
I've already met this problem in the past with alsb v3 and my solution was to add Service Callout in the error handler in order to externalize these actions.
This solution is not convenient and I hope another solution is possible.

Inventorying workgroups can be difficult, especially when it comes to remote access and network security. Because workgroups are not centrally managed, some of the items discussed in this
wiki article on preparing your workgroup environment may require you to visit each machine individually.
For non-domain credentials, you do not use the <systemname>\<user> format, you simply enter the user name. Regarding how to enter the credentials, if you have an account that uses the same username and password on all machines and is an administrator
on all of those machines, then you can enter that in the All computers credentials page of the wizard. You can also do this if they are different user names. However, if some machines have an account with the same user name, such as Administrator,
but different passwords on each machine, you will need to use the Manually enter computer names discovery method, and then enter the information for each group or each machine.
As you can tell, workgroup environments can quickly negate any benefit that the agentless inventory nature of MAP provides.
