Struts 2 Version of Struts 1 ExceptionHandler

[David Zawesky]

Is there a Struts 2 version of the Struts 1 org.apache.struts.action.ExceptionHandler?

I'm migrating a Struts 1 application to Struts 2. The Struts 1 application had a very custom Struts 1 ExceptionHandler which did auditing whenever an unhandled exception was thrown. I'm trying to migrate it to Struts 2. I'm using a global-exception-mapping to redirect the exception to my new Struts 2 Exception handler. Unfortunately, the actual exception is getting lost in the re-direct.

Here is the contents of my struts.xml file:

<global-results>
    <result name="errHandler" type="chain">
    <param name="actionName">errorProcessor</param>
    </result>
</global-results>

<global-exception-mappings>
     <exception-mapping exception="java.lang.Exception" result="errHandler" />
</global-exception-mappings>

<action name="errorProcessor" class="myErrorProcessor">
      <result name="error">/error.jsp</result>
</action>

<action name="throwExceptions" class="throwExceptions">
      <result name="success">done.jsp</result>
</action>

Inside "myErrorProcessor", I have the following:

public class myErrorProcessor extends ActionSupport {

   private Exception exception;

   public String execute() {
         System.out.println("null check: " + (exception == null)); // always is null :(
         return "error";
   }

   public void setException(Exception exception) {
         this.exception = exception;
   }

   public Exception getException() {
         return exception;
   }
}

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to pass the exception to my exception handler in Struts 2? Thanks!

Note: I used this tutorial when building this program.

Did you figure this out? I have the same problem! Thanks

I found this article: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/struts-user/201009.mbox/%3CAANLkTik=[e-mail]%3E

It might be a bug with 2.2.1 (I hope not?)
