Global Exception Handler for ADF Task Flow Method Calls

Exception Handler is the central point for handling unexpected Exceptions that are thrown during the Faces lifecycle.
ADF Task Flow provides this facility, using this you can handle all exception that raised in TaskFlow methods.
here i am using ADF bounded TaskFlow with page fragments(.jsff) .
Developers must use this facility to avoid unexpected exception inside taskflows.

This is very simple approach , you have to do nothing more but create a method in Task Flow and mark it as Exception Handler and write your code inside this method , that you want to show when any exception is caught in TaskFlow.

To implement this i have implemented this scenario-

  • Create a method that throw an Exception and add it to taskFlow, and on page call this method on button click

  • public void exception() {
    throw new JboException("Failded to load");
    }
Control Flow Case in Bounded taskFlow
  • When we click on button that call exception() method ,JboException is raised inside TaskFlow and look like this- Your page crashed

  • Now create a method that will behave as ExceptionHandeler  and add it to TaskFlow and mark as Exception Handeler (Symbol in Jdev toolbar for marking)

  • public void exceptioHandeler() {
    System.out.println("Inside Handeler");
    FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage("This is custom Message for Jbo Exception-Exception Handeler");
    message.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_WARN);
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    fc.addMessage(null, message);

    }

Drop a method as Exception Handler in Bounded Taskflow
  • Use this sign to mark method as Exception Handeler in bounded Task Flow




There is a red icon to mark method as exception handler

  • Now Run your page and click on button that call exception() method, your page never crash, as there is handler
Customised Message appears in case of any exception in taskflow
