Project: Commons Configuration

[jira] Commented: (CONFIGURATION-245) DatabaseConfiguration and
JNDIConfiguration are eating exceptions
Posted by "Oliver Heger (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-245?page=comments#action_12461513 ]
Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-245:
--------------------------------------------
Simply swallowing exceptions is certainly no good design. I agree that this should be changed.
I wonder however if we should always throw runtime exceptions when such an internal error occurs. Maybe it would be better to make this behavior configurable. If the default behavior was to just log the exception, we would keep compatibility with earlier versions, but allow our users to change this.
One way this could be achieved would be to enhance the existing event mechanism. In addition to normal configuration update events special error events could be generated. Interested parties could register themselves as error listeners at a configuration and would then be notified whenever a problem occurs.
What do you think, would such an approach make sense?

[jira] Resolved: (CONFIGURATION-245) DatabaseConfiguration and
JNDIConfiguration are eating exceptions
Posted by "Oliver Heger (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-245?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Oliver Heger resolved CONFIGURATION-245.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 1.4
The concept of error listeners was implemented. It is now possible for an interested client to register itself as an error listener at a configuration. It is then notified about internal errors. DatabaseConfiguration, JNDIConfiguration, and AbstractFileConfiguration use this new concept for reporting internal errors.
