Noel Grandin commented on PIVOT-536: ------------------------------------ As near as I can tell, all you need is an API to access xmlStreamReader.getLocation() which will give you the position of the parser at the time of the error. Is this sufficient? > WTKXSerializer should provide a structure error object when a serializer > error occurs > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIVOT-536 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-536 > Project: Pivot > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: wtk > Reporter: Appddevvv > Priority: Trivial > > When an error occurs in the serializer, logException() is typically called. > The error message, line number and other information is typically not > available for use by tooling. WTKXSerializer should provide a structured > object with the error information in it e.g. the line number. > I don't have a patch for this but I think a simple error object and a > property accessor would be all that's needed. The error object could be > accessed as part of exception handling. > I came across when writing pivotpad (xamlpad like tool) and wanted to > highlight the error in the bxml text. > This improvement is targeted towards tooling support and has no other > apparent use. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
