Rescue exceptions raised in controller actions.
rescue_from
receives a series of exception classes or class
names, and a trailing :with
option with the name of a method
or a Proc object to be called to handle them. Alternatively a block can be
given.
Handlers that take one argument will be called with the exception, so that the exception can be inspected when dealing with it.
Handlers are inherited. They are searched from right to left, from bottom
to top, and up the hierarchy. The handler of the first class for which
exception.is_a?(klass)
holds true is the one invoked, if any.
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base rescue_from User::NotAuthorized, :with => :deny_access # self defined exception rescue_from ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid, :with => :show_errors rescue_from 'MyAppError::Base' do |exception| render :xml => exception, :status => 500 end protected def deny_access ... end def show_errors(exception) exception.record.new_record? ? ... end end
