public interface ProvisioningTransportProvider
ProviderException. The implementations of this
interface should utilize this fact to wrap all possible exceptions ultimately in an instance
of ProviderException. Rich provider implementation layers are expected to be modular with
the main implementation methods calling a number of methods which would be internally invoking
more internal layers of business logic. In such a case, following a neat development approach,
it is recommended that you wrap all the possible Exceptions from all internal layers in instances
of ProvisioningTransportException. The main methods of the implementation (which
are actually the ones defined in this interface) would then just have the try-catch blocks
with the catch portion for only ProvisioningTransportException and this Exception instance
could then be wrapped in ProviderException.| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
