Using UncaughtExceptionHandler in SmartGWT application

[pveilleux]

Hello,
My goal is to have a unique place where I can handle unhandled exception. I did try GWT.setUncaughtExceptionHandler but it doesn't work as I would expect. In hosted-mode, I can see the stack trace of my exception in Eclipse console window (which is maybe the good behavior):

Uncaught JavaScript exception [java.lang.NullPointerException: test
[... and the stack ...]

However, in web-mode, the onUncaughtException method of the UncaughtExceptionHandler object is never called. Is there something I understand wrong about this? Is there any other way to achieve this?

Here is my simplified code:

public class MyApp implements EntryPoint {
	public void onModuleLoad()
	{
		GWT.setUncaughtExceptionHandler(new GWT.UncaughtExceptionHandler()
		{
			public void onUncaughtException(Throwable e)
			{
				Window.alert("Blabla: " + e);
			}			
		});
		
	    // Use deferred command to catch initialization exceptions
	    DeferredCommand.addCommand(new Command() {
	      public void execute() {
	        onModuleLoadReal();
	      }
	    });		
	}	
	
	private void onModuleLoadReal()
	{
		// I do all the init stuff here, if I throw an exception, the onUncaughtException is called properly. However, if an exception is thrown somewhere else in my application, the onUncaughtException is never called in web-mode.
	}
}

This should now be fixed. See details here. Note that you'll need to upgrade to GWT 2.0 if you haven't already done so.

I am having the same problem. I am using:
GWT 2.1.1
SmartGWT 2.4 EE.

I have this method :

public void onModuleLoad() {
    	
    	GWT.setUncaughtExceptionHandler(new GWT.UncaughtExceptionHandler() {
			public void onUncaughtException(Throwable e) {
				.. here I show a popup window with an error message
                    }
		});

For testing, I am creating an ArithmeticException: int x = 3/0;

When debugging with eclipse, I get the popup window showing the error.
But when I compile and run then, I don't get anything.

What am I doing wrong?

Any ideas ?
