Hi,
I've got a JSF back bean trying to catch my application exception but ends
up with an EJBException. Here is my model :
* A Customer entity bean throws an Application Exception in a call back
method to validate its data
@Entity
public class Customer implements Serializable {
@PrePersist
@PreUpdate
private void validateData() {
if (firstname == null || "".equals(firstname))
throw new *ValidationException*("Invalid first name");
if (lastname == null || "".equals(lastname))
throw new ValidationException("Invalid last name");
}
}
* The Validation Exception is a RuntimeException but uses the
ApplicationException annotation
@*ApplicationException*(rollback = true)
public class *ValidationException* extends *RuntimeException* {
}
* Between the Entity and JSF there is a Stateless bean that manipulates this
entity but doesn't wrap or throw an exception
@Stateless
public class CustomerBean implements CustomerRemote, CustomerLocal {
@PersistenceContext(name = "petstorePU")
private EntityManager em;
public Customer createCustomer(final Customer customer) {
em.persist(*customer*);
}
}
* My JSF Back Bean calls the Stateless to create a customer. He tries to
catch the ValidationException and display the error message on my page
public String doCreateCustomer() {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
String navigateTo = null;
try {
customer = customerBean.createCustomer(customer, address);
} *catch (ValidationException e)* {
context.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(
FacesMessage.SEVERITY_WARN, e.getMessage(), null));
}
If I change the catch (ValidationException e) into catch (EJBException e) it
woks because here is my stack trace on the server
*javax.ejb.EJBException*

I am confused because on the EJB specification this is what's written :
14.1.1 Application Exceptions
An application exception may be a subclass (direct or indirect) of
java.lang.Exception (i.e., a "checked exception"), or an application
exception class may be defined as a subclass of the
java.lang.RuntimeException (an "unchecked exception")
14.1.2 Goals for Exception Hand
An application exception thrown by an enterprise bean instance should be
reported to the client precisely (i.e., the client gets the same exception)
14.2.1 Application Exceptions
An application exception that is an unchecked exception is defined as an
application exception by annotating it with the applicationException
metadata annotation.
Thanks for your help,
Antonio
