Client Framework 4.2.0

How to catch client-side messages server-side

After reading this article you should be able to make your own custom client-side error handler that would allow you to send client-side errors to your backend when running a JSF Edition application.

Technical Overview

With the Client Framework, Backbase provides you the tools to create RIAs that leverage AJAX technologies. You can use the Client Framework to create new parts integrated into an existing application or to create new, desktop-like applications that have a Single Page Interface (SPI). As a result, you will be able to create an enhanced web experience for the end user.
