I'm currently working on a new update for the API. I'm looking to add
exceptions back in and wanted to get some feedback on how this should
work. My preference is for a hierarchy of detailed exceptions however
IDL does not allow Exception inheritence which makes that difficult. So
this is what I'm currently looking at.
enum ErrorCodes {
VendorError,
WrongContentType,
NoSuchService,
InvalidService,
NoSuchCollection,
PermissionDenied,
InvalidResource,
NoSuchResource,
InvalidCollection,
InvalidDatabase,
NoSuchDatabase
};
exception XMLDBException {
string message;
ErrorCodes errorCode;
long vendorErrorCode;
};
There is just one exception that is declared to be thrown by all methods
but contains a detailed ErrorCode. If the errorCode field is set to
ErrorCodes.VendorError then the exception is vendor specific and the
vendorErrorCode should be consulted.
Comments?
