[jira] [Created] (DAFFODIL-2721) Standardize InfosetInputter and InfosetOutputter error handling

Steve Lawrence created DAFFODIL-2721:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Standardize InfosetInputter and InfosetOutputter error handling
                 Key: DAFFODIL-2721
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2721
             Project: Daffodil
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Steve Lawrence


The API for InfosetInputetr and InfosetOutputter is not well defined. In the InfosetOutputter API we have deprecated the use of the boolean return values, but have not changed the actual API.

In both cases, implementations are expected to throw exceptions to report errors.

In the InfosetOutputter, we catch all Exceptions and convert them to an SDE.

In the InfosetInputter catches various kinds of exceptions based on InvalidInfosetExcpetion, but only documents NonTextFoundInSimpleContentException. It's not clear if try/catch'es wrap all calls to the InfosetInputter.

We should double check that everything is correct. We may also want to create a specific exception for both the inputter and outputter that are consistent in naming (e.g. InfosetInputterException/InfosetOutputterException) and use these correctly and consistently.
