How can I create a fubumvc behaviour that wraps actions with a particular return type, and if an exception occurs while executing the action, then the behaviour logs the exception and populates some fields on the return object? I have tried the following:
public class JsonExceptionHandlingBehaviour : IActionBehavior
{
private static readonly Logger logger = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();
private readonly IActionBehavior _innerBehavior;
private readonly IFubuRequest _request;
public JsonExceptionHandlingBehaviour(IActionBehavior innerBehavior, IFubuRequest request)
{
_innerBehavior = innerBehavior;
_request = request;
}
public
void Invoke()
{
try
{
_innerBehavior.Invoke();
var response = _request.Get<AjaxResponse>();
response.Success = true;
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
logger.ErrorException("Error processing JSON request", ex);
var response = _request.Get<AjaxResponse>();
response.Success = false;
response.Exception = ex.ToString();
}
}
public
void InvokePartial()
{
_innerBehavior.InvokePartial();
}
}
But, although I get the AjaxResponse object from the request, any changes I make don't get sent back to the client. Also, any exceptions thrown by the action don't make it as far as this, the request is terminated before execution gets to the catch block. What am I doing wrong?
For completeness, the behaviour is wired up with the following in my WebRegistry:
Policies
.EnrichCallsWith<JsonExceptionHandlingBehaviour>(action =>
typeof(AjaxResponse).IsAssignableFrom(action.Method.ReturnType));
And AjaxResponse looks like:
public class AjaxResponse
{
public bool Success { get; set; }
public object Data { get; set; }
public string Exception { get; set; }
}
