Error Handling

[Brent L Johnson <br...@bjohnson.net>]

This may be a stupid question - but, is there a way to access some existing object (a List for example) in the error handling methods (warning, error, and fatalError).  Right now - to process the validation error, I'm throwing an exception and including the validation error message as the message for the thrown exception.  I'm then catching that by putting a try/catch around the parse() method.

Throwing an exception there is just not enough information.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

- Brent

Actually - I managed to poke around until I figured it out.  Turns instead of using a separate class for the validation handling, I just included the methods in the object that calls the parse()... then I could simply access the existing List in the object when the validation methods were called (in case anyone was interested).

You can define your own exception class, and add fields to hold whatever
extra information you need to pass.  Or did I misunderstand your
problem?
