334916 - XForms controls throws exception always

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: XForms, enhancement)

Description

[alexander :surkov (:asurkov)]

If xforms control sees that something goes wrong then it thows always exception. It is right from the point of view of xforms but sometimes it is not quite right from the xforms author point of view.

In instace I make a xforms document from few xml documents. Model is described in one xml file, the xforms controls are described in other xml file. When I parse xml file with xforms controls then xforms controls throws excepions since they don't see model. I get exceptions in js console and they plague me with one's presence.

It is quite right behaviour from the xforms point of view but sometimes it is not useful.

Probably we should provide mechanism to handle thease exceptions? Now afaik they are just information in js console.

What are you looking for?  You want a preference to turn off/filter the JS Console warnings?  Or are you also asking for a preference so that we don't generate xforms-*-exception events?

Changing to enhancement since there is no 'bug' here.

Worksforme since I don't see any errors in console and therefore I don't know where mechanism to handle errors is usefull :).
