  • Method Details

    • getErrorType

      ErrorType getErrorType()
      Gets the type of error that has occurred. Code should be written such that future error types are handled appropriately.
      Returns:
    • getDescriptor

      Descriptor getDescriptor()
      This will contain the active descriptor that is associated with this failure. In the case of FAILURE_TO_REIFY it will contain the descriptor that failed to reify. In the DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION_FAILURE case this will return null. In SERVICE_CREATION_FAILURE and SERVICE_DESTRUCTION_FAILURE it will contain the descriptor whose create or destroy methods failed. In the case of VALIDATE_FAILURE it will contain the descriptor that failed the security check
      Returns:
      The descriptor associated with this failure
    • getInjectee

      Injectee getInjectee()
      This will contain information about the Injectee that was being injected into when the error occurred.

      In the case of FAILURE_TO_REIFY this will be the injectee that was being looked up to satisfy the injection point, or null if this lookup was due to an API call.

      In the case of VALIDATE_FAILURE this will contain the injectee that was being looked up when the failure occurred or null if this was a lookup operation or the injectee is unknown for some other reason

      In the cases of DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION_FAILURE, SERVICE_CREATION_FAILURE and SERVICE_DESTRUCTION_FAILURE this will return null.

      Returns:
      The injectee associated with this failure
    • getAssociatedException

      MultiException getAssociatedException()
      This will contain the associated exception or exceptions that caused the failure.

      In the case of FAILURE_TO_REIFY this will contain the exception that caused the reification process to fail

      In the case of DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION_FAILURE this will contain the exception that cause the configuration operation to fail

      In the case of SERVICE_CREATION_FAILURE this will contain the exception that was thrown during service creation

      In the case of SERVICE_DESTRUCTION_FAILURE this will contain the exception that was thrown during service destruction

      In the case of VALIDATE_FAILURE this will contain the exception that was thrown from the Validator.validate(ValidationInformation) method

      Returns:
      The exception associated with this failure
