Type Parameters:

T - the exception type supported by the factory

All Known Implementing Classes:

Method Detail

checkIntegrity

ExceptionFactory.IntegrityCheckResult checkIntegrity()

Performs an integrity check on the factories exception mapping registries.

Returns:

the integrity check result

createException

T createException(com.lexmark.saperion.exceptions.ErrorType error,
                  Throwable cause)

This method creates a new exception instance for the given server fault.

Parameters:

error - the server error representation

cause - the exception cause

Returns:

the exception instance for the given server error

supports

boolean supports(com.lexmark.saperion.exceptions.ErrorCodeType code)

This method determines if an exception mapping for faults with the given error code exists in the factory instance. Therefore, the exception factory searches its internal exception mappings whether a mapping for the given error code exists or not.

Parameters:

code - the server error code

Returns:

the exception instance for the given server fault
