Report Errors from the server

rbuser

Hi,

First of all thanks for all the help over the past few months. My project is
doing quite well now. I have a service that connects to the server with a
client within a thread(ie no GUI). This works well and does everything
required.

I want to add a feature where if an error occurs within the connection, then
I want to record the error that occured. This could be as simple as not
being able to connect or something being reported by the server. Is there a
property or a procedure that enables access to these errors?

One option is to implement some code in the Application.OnException event to
log exceptions.

There are some excellent Delphi add-ons that collect detailed information
about exceptions. I have not used these, but many of our customers email
reports that these produce with information about what caused an exception.
Check out EurekaLog, MadExcept, and I think the JVCL might have one also.
MadExcept and there are others. I think the JVCL might include one.

ReportBuilder errors are raised as either EReportBuilder exceptions or as
descendant of EReportBuilder. EReportBuilderError is declared in ppTypes.
For RBServerEdition, there is an rsExceptions unit that declares
descendants, for example

EClientError = class(EReportBuilderError);
