All Implemented Interfaces:

Direct Known Subclasses:

JboExHelperLocalized

public class JboExceptionHelper

extends PropertiesHelper

The top-level class for Business Component exceptions.

This class provides tools for localizing exception messages for various target languages, and for message formatting.

Message-text localization occurs when the client calls getLocalizedMessage(), rather than at time the exception occurs, because the client may need to present the message in a number of different languages.

The components of a message are:

• a non-translated product code string, such as "FRM" or "ORA".
• a non-translated error code string, such as "10234"
• non-translated message text.
• message parameters, equal in number to the number of '%' symbols in the message text.
• a "details" list containing background information.

Additional components may be introduced in future.

A counterpart subclass of ResourceBundle, JboExceptionBundle, is used to determine the overall formatting of the message. The default format is

productCode-errorCode: messageBody

For example, ORA-10234: I don't think so.

Most subclasses wll provide a value for the error code in a specialized constructor.

Applications may define subclasses of most JBO exceptions. To do this the application should override the following methods to provide the correct set of values for the messaging services:

• getResourceName
• to return the name of the appropriate resource bundle.
• getProductCode
• to return the name of the product.

Other methods may be overridden to modify the message format.

ResourceBundle

Method Detail

getMessage

public java.lang.String getMessage()

Formats the message text for the default locale.

Returns:

the localized message.

getLocalizedMessage

public java.lang.String getLocalizedMessage(java.util.Locale l)

Formats the message text for a specific Locale.

Parameters:

l - a locale.

Returns:

the localized message.

getBaseMessage

public java.lang.String getBaseMessage()

Gets the message without localizing it or inserting parameters.

Returns:

the un-formatted, non-localized message.

getLocalizedBaseMessage

public java.lang.String getLocalizedBaseMessage(java.util.Locale l)

Localizes an un-parameterized message text for a specific Locale.

Parameters:

l - a locale.

Returns:

the localalized but un-formatted message.

getResourceName

public java.lang.String getResourceName()

Gets the name of the ResourceBundle used to localize messages.

Returns:

null.

getResourceClass

public java.lang.Class getResourceClass()

Gets the resource bundle used to localize messages.

Returns:

null.

getErrorParameters

public java.lang.Object[] getErrorParameters()

Gets the error message parameters.

Returns:

an array of objects.

getErrorParametersMap

public java.util.Map getErrorParametersMap()

setErrorParameters

public void setErrorParameters(java.lang.Object[] params)

Resets the error parameters. This method is for use by derived classes who create their own set of parameters but do not want the "thrower" to know about it.

setErrorParametersMap

public void setErrorParametersMap(java.util.Map params)

getErrorCode

public java.lang.String getErrorCode()

Gets the error code.

Returns:

a string containing an error code.

getProductCode

public java.lang.String getProductCode()

Gets the product code.

Returns:

the exception's product code.

getErrorMsg

1. product code from getProductCode
2. error code from getErrorCode
3. error message text loaded from the resource bundle

This method returns a string of the form "{0}-{1}: {2}". An example message in this form might look like:

Returns:

a format string to format the printed message.
