24.9. Handling Exceptions

When invoking a remote component method, you can specify an exception handler to process the response in the event of an exception during component invocation. To specify an exception handler function, include a reference to it after the callback parameter in your JavaScript: 
var callback = function(result) { 
    alert(result); 
}; 
var exceptionHandler = function(ex) { 
    alert("An exception occurred: " + ex.getMessage()); 
}; 
Seam.Component.getInstance("helloAction")
    .sayHello(name, callback, exceptionHandler);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
If you do not have a callback handler defined, you must specify null in its place: 
var exceptionHandler = function(ex) { 
    alert("An exception occurred: " + ex.getMessage()); 
}; 
Seam.Component.getInstance("helloAction")
    .sayHello(name, null, exceptionHandler);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
The exception object that is passed to the exception handler exposes one method, getMessage(), which returns the exception message belonging to the exception thrown by the @WebRemote method.
