Unable to catch exception

HI,

 

I have written a controller, and a page that uses it. This method catches an exception, I am trying to pass the error to the apex : messages visualforce page .

 

Clicking Running this method, I get an "An unexpected error has occurred.  " page. what's wrong with my exception catching?

 

 

public void deleteOldInvoices() {
//this method is in the controller. it is run from the page 	 	try {	 		//some code here. 	        }	 	} catch (Exception e) {			Apexpages.addMessages(e);	 	} }
 
 Thanks
Ben

Ben,
 
It's causing an error because the addMessages method is expecting a ApexPages.Message as the parameter instead of an Exception.  The code below should work.   
 
 
try {	 		//some code here. 	        
	 	
} catch (Exception e) {			
	ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.Message(
                    ApexPages.severity.ERROR,
                    e.getMessage())
	);	 	
}

Thanks Jessie.
 
I've just solved it, apparently the exception was coming from the constructor....
 
Actually, what you say is not quite precise. 
 
ApexPages.Message only accepts a message, but ApexPages.Messages actually accepts an Exception object. it works fine for me...
 
Thanks.	
Ben

I didn't realize that, that's useful.  Thanks Ben!
