⁠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);

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);

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.
