Description

When an exception occurs in a component, database/null pointer etc something that breaks the component, the exception propagates to the page and currently we show some error page.

Unfortunately this breaks the whole page. I think it would be nice to have a way to define an error component to replace the one that brakes, so we lose only the component and not the whole page, something similar with have onException() and returning the error page.

Currently we cant find a way to do that.

Thanks,
