we are using BlazeDS as a proxy between Flex and Java. The approach is the same as in (http://www.flexpasta.com/index.php/2008/05/16/exception-handling-with-blazeds-and-flex/)
Java exception declaration:
public class FlexException extends RuntimeException {
private String name = 'John';
public FlexException(String message) {
super(message);
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
}
Then, we are throwing it:
public void testMethod(String str) throws Exception {
throw new FlexException("Custom exception");
}
Flex part:
private function faultHandler(event:FaultEvent):void
{
var errorMessage:ErrorMessage = event.message as ErrorMessage;
trace("error++");
}
and remote object is instantiated here:
<mx:RemoteObject id="mySample" destination="mySample" channelSet="{cs1}" fault="faultHandler(event)" />
But in event.fault
I get "Server.Processing" and event.faultString
equals "There was an unhandled failure on the server. Custom exception"
How can I receive the data is specified in exception props ?

Here is what I get in Flex when setting a breakpoint in the onFaultHandler: So the quesion is why rootClause is null? Where is my FlexException with name = 'John'.
Ok, so you are using the spring-blazeds-flex integration. In this case the mechanism described on the previous links does not work as it is. You need to create your own exception translator, otherwise you will receive the generic Server.Processing error: . Please read: http://static.springsource.org/spring-flex/docs/1.0.x/reference/html/ch02s08.html
Also you can read on the blog of my friend Ionut this article: http://margelatu.org/2009/06/15/meaningful-exceptions-in-lcdsblazeds-applications-using-spring-blazeds-integration/
