[Springframework-developer] HandlerExceptionResolver not catching taglib exceptions?

[Tim K. <tim...@vi...>]

I'm doing some work with the spring-portlet MVC in our current project, and
one thing I ran across recently is that apparently the
HandlerExceptionResolver on the portlet side does not catch Exceptions
thrown from a taglib (a custom taglib for example).  I've tested this out by
issuing the same exception from inside the handler itself, which was caught
as expected, but throwing that exception from a taglib itself is not caught.

So it seems that the HandlerExceptionResolver does not handle exceptions
that are issued after the flow of control is handed over to the view phase.

I e-mailed John Lewis about this, and he said he thinks this is how it also
performs on the servlet-MVC side as well.  Since we do not have any
servlet-MVC code here, I thought I'd ask on the list to see if this is
indeed true as well.

If so, what would be the correct way to handle exceptions issued by taglibs,
using spring MVC?  

Thanks!
