wcfierrorhandler

Is it possible to shortcut/bypass other IErrorHandlers in WCF?


I am developing a rather large application and would like to implement IErrorHandler multiple ways for different conditions. However, it appears that ALL of the instances will be called for every error. Is there a way I can tell WCF that the error has been handled by a particular instance so that any handlers remaining in the list are not called?

(For a little more detail, we are using a 3rd party toolkit that adds a "default" error handler. This means that no matter what we do, this handler will be invoked and reverses some of our changes.)


Solution

  • You could just use a provider pattern and inside it have a list of your error handlers. You could then have whatever condition you like to delegate to the handler of your choice.

    Ie you would hook up 1 error handler that contains all your handlers instead of hooking up many which all get executed sequentially.
