The exception utility contains a single class ExceptionHelper
that provides a set of static methods for generating exception
reports that take into consideration a causal chain.
try
{
// do stuff
}
catch( Throwable e )
{
final String message =
"A problem occured.";
final String error = ExceptionHelper.packException( message, e, true );
System.out.println( error );
}
The above code results in the creation of report similar to
the following:
---- exception report ----------------------------------------------------------
An error occured.
Exception: org.apache.avalon.util.exception.StandardException
Message: Unable to do something due to a error condition.
---- cause ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Exception: org.apache.avalon.util.exception.StandardRuntimeException
Message: Unable to do something else due to a error condition.
---- cause ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Exception: org.apache.avalon.util.exception.StandardError
Message: Raising exception because that's what I'm programmed to do.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
