Catching Exception thrown in _forward

[Cadrach]

Hi everyone,

I have the following issue, inside an action I would like to catch the Exception thrown inside a $this->_forward I am making.

Example code of my controller:
    public function initAction()
    {
        $this->getFrontController()->setParam('noErrorHandler', true);
        $this->getFrontController()->throwExceptions(true);
        try
        {
            $this->_forward('test');
        }
        catch(Exception $e)
        {
            echo "CAUGHT";
            exit;
        }
    }

    public function testAction()
    {
        throw new Exception('TEST');
    }

This code displays the exception using standard PHP display, but the "catch" is never run.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Or is this the excepted behavior of _forward()?

Thanks for reading,
Cadrach

From what I understand, _forward only modifies the request and resets its dispatched flag. In other words, you can't catch any exception thrown in the action because the action isn't actually dispatched at that point.

Generally, exceptions thrown by actions are caught in the ErrorHandler plugin and forwarded to the ErrorController. Can you handle your error in the ErrorController?

Thanks, it helped me find a workaround. Here is what I did:

    public function initAction()
    {
        $this->getFrontController()->getPlugin('Zend_Controller_Plugin_ErrorHandler')
        ->setErrorHandlerModule('somemodule')
        ->setErrorHandlerController('somecontroller')
        ->setErrorHandlerAction('someaction');

        $this->_forward('somewhere');
       
    }

In the Controller somecontroller of Module somemodule:

    public function someactionAction()
    {
        $error = $this->_getParam('error_handler');

        // Then work using $error->exception as my exception
    }
