Appendix A   Error Messages


The developer writes servlets that use connectors to connect with the back end. Error messages are generated to assist the developer in debugging these processes. This appendix contains a list of identified errors and the error handling code that is used to catch the error.

The following topics are described:

• Description of Errors

• Error Handling Code

Table A-1 lists the error handling codes, msgid, and the corresponding messages.

Error Handling Code

---

The error handling code is an example of how to handle an exception raised by the connector.

When there is an error in the process the PeopleSoft connector throws a BspException object. The exception object contains a data object. The data object contains the numeric code, msgid, as listed in Table A-1.

An example of error handling code is shown in Code Example A-1.

Code Example A-1 Error Handling Code Sample

try

{

... some code in the servlet

}

catch (BspException e)

{

IBSPDataObjectStructure info = null;

errorMessage += " Error : " + e.getMessage() ;

info=e.getInfo();

if (info != null && info.attrExists("msgid") )

{

errorMessage += " Error code : " + info.getAttrInt("msgid") ;

}

}
