Hi,

I will like to trap all application exceptions to a model. Can someone  
give me some approach to do this task?

The idea is to know in a model log what exceptions and errors my app  
is having.

Thanks in advance

Genís

Not specifically what you’re looking for, but have you looked at  
Hoptoad? It’s a pretty handy way to track exceptions in production,  
and involves a lot less work than trying to roll up your own.
