Thierry,
Exceptions in Seaside are handled by an instance of (a subclass of) WAExceptionHandler. Setting the exception handler is part of the application configuration. For development, Seaside provides you with exception handlers (e.g. WAWalkbackErrorHandler) that return an exception page and that can open a debugger on the server-side (or they put a continuation on the objectlog in GLASS). However, the problem with AJAX calls is that the browser will not render that response as a page refresh. Gracefully dealing with those exceptions requires a bit of javascripting. In addition, if you want to handle exceptions differently on the server-side, you need to implement your own subclass of WAExceptionHandler (or any of its subclasses). For handling ajax errors differently on the client side (for example, refreshing the page anyway): provide a javascript function as the 'onError' parameter for the ajax call. You can do this for each ajax call separately, or you can define a global handler. Some examples: - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/377644/jquery-ajax-error-handling-show-custom-exception-messages - http://api.jquery.com/ajaxError/ To change the server-side behavior. I think you can find your way by looking at the implementation of the existing handlers. To give you yet another example, here is the principal code of an error handler we are using in production code. In combination with a global ajax error handler, it makes sure that a decent error message is put on the screen (in a kind of dialog window) whenever an error occurred server-side in an ajax callback. handleDefault: anException [self logErrorToDisk: anException] ensure: [self requestContext respond: [ :response | response internalError; contentType: WAMimeType textHtml; nextPutAll: (self rendererClass builder fullDocument: true; rootBlock: [ :root | root title: anException description ]; render: [:html | html render:(NPProductionErrorDialog exception: anException)])]] Hope this gets you on your way!

Thanks Johan for your answers.
I think that what I am looking for is a way to call from Seaside the Ajax error callback function. The definition of a load call in JQuery is as follows: .load( url, [ data ], [ complete(responseText, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) ] ) url A string containing the URL to which the request is sent. data A map or string that is sent to the server with the request. complete(responseText, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) A callback function that is executed when the request completes. The following code in Seaside html div id: (html nextId); script: (html jQuery new dialog html: myComponent; title: 'Title'; height: 180; width: 420; resizable: false; autoOpen: false; modal: true). html anchor url: '#'; onClick: (( html jQuery id: html lastId) dialog open ); with: 'Test' creates the following Jquery code: <script type="text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*/function onLoad(){$("#id1").dialog({"autoOpen":false,"open":function(){$("#id1").load("http://here/app",["_s=InQqr610owmLtmMN","_k=ZRkC14tzdCC76Rkw","2"].join("&"))},"title":"Title","height":180,"width":420,"resizable":false,"modal":true});/*]]>*/</script> What I would like is something managing the load function errors, as described in http://fishdujour.typepad.com/blog/2009/05/handling-errors-using-jqueryload.html The example method at JQAllFunctionalTests >> renderTimeoutOn: provides a global error trapping, but not an error mechanism for a particular Ajax call (as far as I understand it). I would like to code something like: html div id: (html nextId); script: (html jQuery new dialog html: myComponent; title: 'Title'; height: 180; width: 420; resizable: false; autoOpen: false; modal: true complete: ( html javascript 'function(response, status, xhr) { if (status == "error") { alert('oh oh'); }). That would translate in something like: <script type="text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*/function onLoad(){$("#id1").dialog({"autoOpen":false,"open":function(){$("#id1").load("http://here/app",["_s=InQqr610owmLtmMN","_k=ZRkC14tzdCC76Rkw","2"].join("&"),function(response, status, xhr) { if (status == "error") { alert('oh oh'); })},"title":"Title","height":180,"width":420,"resizable":false,"modal":true});/*]]>*/</script> Thierry |
Thierry,
An investigation of the JQDialog>>html: learns me that it's a convenience method for the onOpen callback. As such, if you want to pass on an onError function to the #load function, your example should be implemented along the following lines: html div id: (html nextId); script: (html jQuery new dialog autoOpen: false; onOpen: (html jQuery ajax load html: myComponent; onError: (html javascript ....)); title: 'Title'; height: 180; width: 420; resizable: false; autoOpen: false; modal: true).
