Description

In the past I wasn't quite so sure about whether or not we should catch all exceptions in WResource::handleRequest by default.

Arguments for catching exceptions:

  • programming errors don't crash the entire application, which is probably preferred in production

Arguments for not catching:

  • not catching makes developers using Wt notice the error, and allow them to debug and fix them. Catching and logging is less obvious than crashing.

I think we should catch by default, and perhaps allow developers to turn it off to facilitate debugging.
