I'm not looking for someone to hold my hand. I'm looking for a link to a discussion or tutorial. I'm not even completely sure what one is. I'm guessing its a kind of lookup table to determine the best project-defined error for a given exception.
My google searches are turning up stuff on Python and Perl. Any guides for java?
Sounds interesting but I think I'm not getting it entirely. "dictionary" implies some kind of key-value, lookup by key? Can you give a few examples of how you'd turn exceptions into keys? Something like this?
ClassX.methodY.exceptionz = "We are out of beer. Please buy more."
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi
Yeah, I had initially assumed this was a Design Pattern I was not familiar with. Turns out I was wrong. This is just how they're referring to mapping error messages to objects. I'll post more if it turns out to be technically interesting, but as it stands right now I shouldn't have made the initial post and this thread can probably be deleted or locked.
