Hi Mikhail,
Nor can I off the top of my head. So you are advocating something like
"Harmony class library code should throw exceptions of the same runtime
class (or a subtype of that runtime class) as the RI" ? Do you have in
Correct.
mind a particular example of this in the current code base ?
We have a general discussion in the thread "[classlib] matching RI exceptions
-- are we required to have this type of compatibility? "
I can recall a specific example:
Most of the methods that use ASN.1 functionality declared to throw IOE
If some decoding errors occur we might:
- throw IOE
- throw dedicated ASN1Exception extending IOE
- throw ASN1E in decoder, then catch it in a public API method and convert to
IOE
Our implementation throws ASN1Exception extending IOE every time
ASN.1 error occurs. As far as there might be future classes such that RI throws
different exception (not an IOE) we keep possibility to catch ASN1 and wrap it
into another exception in certain rare cases.
Thanks,
Mikhail
