EveExceptions

You can instantiate an EveException in one of three ways:

EveException(String fromClass,String fromMethod,Exception e)

EveException(String fromClass,String fromMethod,String message,Exception e)

EveException(String fromClass,String fromMethod,String message)

EveExceptions are designed primarily for logging purposes. For example, if you instantiate an EveException with an exception, it will create a stack trace, log it to disk, and return. The fromMethod and fromClass features are used to designate the method in the code that triggered the exception.

NOTE · Do not forget to enable error logging. Refer to the error logging section of the eve.properties File for more information on enabling error logging.

The following code catches a Java exception, creates a new EveException to wrap it, and throws the new EveException:

Public void myMethod( myMethodOptions )

{

try

{

// Something that could blow up

}

catch (Exception exception)

{

throw new EveException( "myClass", "myMethod","your very own error message",

exception);

}

}

EveException.stackTrace (a string variable) contains a formatted stack trace. This stack trace is exactly the trace that is logged, with timestamp, to the error log directory specified in the Eve.properties file.
