All Known Implementing Classes:

ContextedException, ContextedRuntimeException, DefaultExceptionContext

Allows the storage and retrieval of contextual information based on label-value pairs for exceptions.

Implementations are expected to manage the pairs in a list-style collection that keeps the pairs in the sequence of their addition.

Since:

3.0

Method Detail

addContextValue

ExceptionContext addContextValue(java.lang.String label,
                                 java.lang.Object value)

Adds a contextual label-value pair into this context.

The pair will be added to the context, independently of an already existing pair with the same label.

Parameters:

label - the label of the item to add, null not recommended

value - the value of item to add, may be null

Returns:

this, for method chaining, not null

setContextValue

ExceptionContext setContextValue(java.lang.String label,
                                 java.lang.Object value)

Sets a contextual label-value pair into this context.

The pair will be added normally, but any existing label-value pair with the same label is removed from the context.

Parameters:

label - the label of the item to add, null not recommended

value - the value of item to add, may be null

Returns:

this, for method chaining, not null

getContextValues

java.util.List<java.lang.Object> getContextValues(java.lang.String label)

Retrieves all the contextual data values associated with the label.

Parameters:

label - the label to get the contextual values for, may be null

Returns:

the contextual values associated with the label, never null

getFirstContextValue

java.lang.Object getFirstContextValue(java.lang.String label)

Retrieves the first available contextual data value associated with the label.

Parameters:

label - the label to get the contextual value for, may be null

Returns:

the first contextual value associated with the label, may be null

getContextLabels

java.util.Set<java.lang.String> getContextLabels()

Retrieves the full set of labels defined in the contextual data.

Returns:

the set of labels, not null

getContextEntries

java.util.List<Pair<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>> getContextEntries()

Retrieves the full list of label-value pairs defined in the contextual data.

Returns:

the list of pairs, not null

getFormattedExceptionMessage

java.lang.String getFormattedExceptionMessage(java.lang.String baseMessage)

Gets the contextualized error message based on a base message. This will add the context label-value pairs to the message.

Parameters:

baseMessage - the base exception message without context information appended

Returns:

the exception message with context information appended, not null
