Package com.lexmark.saperion.exceptions.mappings

Interface ExceptionMapping<T extends java.lang.Throwable>

Type Parameters:

T - the mapped exception type

All Known Implementing Classes:

ApplicationExceptionFactory.ApplicationErrors, EcmsExceptionMapping, RuntimeExceptionFactory.RuntimeErrors, SystemExceptionFactory.SystemErrors

public interface ExceptionMapping<T extends java.lang.Throwable>

An exception mapping associates an error code with a specific exception class. Error mappings are used by exception factories in order to build up the factories internal mapping registries.

Method Detail

createException

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

Creates a new exception for the given server fault.

Returns:

the new exception

createException

T createException(java.lang.String message)

Creates a new exception for the given server fault.

message - the error message

Returns:

the new exception

createException

T createException(java.lang.String message,
                  java.lang.Throwable cause)

createException

T createException(java.lang.Throwable cause)

Creates a new exception for the given server fault.

Parameters:

cause - the exception cause

Returns:

the new exception

getErrorCode

com.lexmark.saperion.exceptions.ErrorCodeType getErrorCode()

Returns the error code this exception mapping applies to.

Returns:

the exception mapping's error code

validate

boolean validate()

Validates the integrity of the exception mapping. An exception mapping is valid if the mapped exception class can be instantiated and an appropriate factory constructor exists. Appropriate exception implementations must provide a factory constructors that consume an ErrorType and a Throwable.

Returns:

true if the mapping is valid and the mapped exception fits the design rules, otherwise false
