Dealing with the error is my issue.
XMultiComponentFactory.createInstanceWithContext throws only one
exception type, com.sun.star.uno.Exception. How can I tell what error
caused the Exception? If it is because of the version problem, I'd
like to report that to the user. If it is some other connectivity
problem, report that.
Is this actually an instance of subclass of Exception? If so, what
are the possibilities for
XMultiComponentFactory.createInstanceWithContext?
Or, will this be shown by Exception.getCause()? If so, what are the
possible Throwables that getCause will return for
XMultiComponentFactory.createInstanceWithContext?
Or, am I limited to Exception.getMessage for reporting to the user?
thanks,
mike
