start tackling EMPIREDB-99

[Rainer Döbele <do...@esteam.de>]

Hi all,

during the last couple of months I had little spare time due to our 10 years company anniversary that we celebrated last week.

But now I really intend to tackle EMPIREDB-99 during the next few weeks, which is the removal of the old-style error handling.
I will start with the core, but once this is done I probably need some help for the other modules.

Basically I intend to remove all legacy code that is not necessary for the current exception handling mode (ErrorObject.setExceptionsEnabled(true)).
Hence this choice will go.
Consequently almost all method signatures with boolean return values will be changed to "void" and it will not be possible to call hasError, gerErrorInfo, getErrorMessage, ... on any Object.

There is a branch set up for this in SVN (thanks Francis).
@Francis: do you think it would make sense to update that branch before I go ahead?

Since this will be our biggest API change since incubation I am asking everyone if there are further requirements and suggestions for improvement.

Regards
Rainer

Hi Rainer,

I suggest you kill the branch and make a new one where you make the
changes, I think you are the best person to do this change. I've tried
a few times but kinda got stuck.

Once the core module is updated I'm willing to help with the other modules.

Cheers,
Francis
