I am wondering if there is a way to do database independent error trapping.
For example on a table/object that has a unique key I just invoke the .save() method and and trap any exception. I look at the exception to see if it was a duplicate value in the unique column that caused the error and then explain this to the user in a friendly message. My problem is that I want the system to portable to different database so I do not want to do something like: eSql = (SQLException) t; if ( !eSql.getSQLState().equals("23505") ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
