Past few days I had a dilemma of how to generate email alert if my JSF application has any RuntimeException. Finally I found a solution.
ActionListenerImpl class help me for that.
No need to talk, let's start the party.
First step:
We need to create ExceptionHandlingActionListener class that implements ActionListenerImpl.
in the ExceptionHandlingActionListener class, we should override the supper class processAction(ActionEvent event) method. And write our email alert code inside the catch block.
So in my sysout " Typing email " section, we can call to a email generation method and pass the StackTrace to email body. Email formatting is not in my radar.

Second step :
Add this listener to the faces-config.xml
1 2 3 4 | <application> <action-listener> com.imesh.test.ExceptionHandlingActionListener </action-listener> </application> |
Awesome!!!, We are done. Try create any RuntimeException in your application. Magically it will handle by our ExceptionHandlingActionListener and generate the email for you.
Thank you, Comments are welcome !!.
