Question

Is anyone using Castle MonoRail and ELMAH with success?

We are using a number of Resuces to present users with friendly error messages, but if we do this the exceptions never get as far as ELMAH as the MonoRail rescue intercepts them.

Ideally we want the user to see the rescue, but for the exception to be logged in ELMAH.

Any ideas/pointers?

Cheers,

Jay.

After looking at the links Macka posted, I wrote this simple monorail exception handler:

public class ElmahExceptionHandler : AbstractExceptionHandler {     public override void Process(IRailsEngineContext context) {         ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(context.LastException);     } } 

Then I registered it in web.config, monorail section:

<monorail>     <extensions>         <extension type='Castle.MonoRail.Framework.Extensions.ExceptionChaining.ExceptionChainingExtension, Castle.MonoRail.Framework'/>     </extensions>     <exception>         <exceptionHandler type='MyNamespace.ElmahExceptionHandler, MyAssembly'/>     </exception> ... </monorail> 

And that’s it.
