/**
* ExceptionHandler is the
* central point for handling unexpected
* Exceptions that are thrown during the Faces
* lifecycle. The ExceptionHandler must not be notified of
* any Exceptions that occur during application startup or
* shutdown.
*
*
* See the specification prose document for the requirements for the
* default implementation. Exceptions may be passed to the
* ExceptionHandler in one of two ways:
*
*
*
* by ensuring that Exceptions are not caught, or
* are caught and re-thrown.
*
* This approach allows the ExceptionHandler
* facility specified in section JSF.6.2 to operate on the
* Exception.
*
* By using the system event facility to publish an {@link
* ExceptionQueuedEvent} that wraps the Exception.
*
* This approach requires manually publishing the {@link
* ExceptionQueuedEvent}, but allows more information about the
* Exceptionto be stored in the event. The
* following code is an example of how to do this.
*
*
*
* //...
* } catch (Exception e) {
* FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
* ExceptionQueuedEventContext eventContext = new ExceptionQueuedEventContext(ctx, e);
* eventContext.getAttributes().put("key", "value");
* ctx.getApplication().publishEvent(ExceptionQueuedEvent.class, eventContext);
* }
*
*
*
* Because the Exception must not be re-thrown
* when using this approach, lifecycle processing may continue
* as normal, allowing more Exceptions to be
* published if necessary.
*
*
*
* With either approach, any ExceptionQueuedEvent instances
* that are published in this way are accessible to the {@link #handle}
* method, which is called at the end of each lifecycle phase, as
* specified in section JSF.6.2.
* Instances of this class are request scoped and are created by
* virtue of {@link FacesContextFactory#getFacesContext} calling {@link
* ExceptionHandlerFactory#getExceptionHandler}.
