Generic error handling block

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

If there a way to catch any type of errors thrown from subprocess, whose script task or service task can throw java RuntimeException or any other type of Exception?
I see ErrorBoundary only catches BpmnError. Is there a better way to handle java Exception in generic way for BPMN.
Currently in case of java Exception, process is getting terminated abruptly without allowing to do any post processing.

Thanks.

Hi @pankaj,

In order to catch non BpmnError exceptions via error events, you can set the errorCode attribute to the exception’s full-qualified classname (or that of a superclass). See https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.7/reference/bpmn20/events/error-events/#defining-an-error for details.

Cheers,
Thorben
