public class Error
extends ApiError
implements Serializable, StaticStructure

The Error exception describes theproperties common to all standard exceptions.

This exception serves two purposes:

1. It is the exception that clients in many programming languages can catch to handle all standard exceptions. Typically those clients will display one or more of the localizable messages from getMessages() to a human.
2. It is the exception that methods can report when they need to report some exception, but the exception doesn't fit into any other standard exception, and in fact the only reasonable way for a client to react to the exception is to display the message(s) to a human.

Method Detail

getMessages

public List<LocalizableMessage> getMessages()

Stack of one or more localizable messages for human exception consumers.

The message at the top of the stack (first in the list) describes the exception from the perspective of the method the client invoked. Each subsequent message in the stack describes the "cause" of the prior message.

Returns:

The current value of the property.

setMessages

public void setMessages(List<LocalizableMessage> messages)

Stack of one or more localizable messages for human exception consumers.

The message at the top of the stack (first in the list) describes the exception from the perspective of the method the client invoked. Each subsequent message in the stack describes the "cause" of the prior message.

Parameters:

messages - New value for the property.

getData

public Structure getData()

Data to facilitate clients responding to the method reporting a standard exception to indicating that it was unable to complete successfully.

Methods may provide data that clients can use when responding to exceptions. Since the data that clients need may be specific to the context of the method reporting the exception, different methods that report the same exception may provide different data in the exception. The documentation for each each method will describe what, if any, data it provides for each exception it reports. The ArgumentLocations, FileLocations, and TransientIndication classes are intended as possible values for this property. DynamicID may also be useful as a value for this property (although that is not its primary purpose). Some interfaces may provide their own specific classes for use as the value of this property when reporting exceptions from their methods.

Some methods will not set this property when reporting exceptions.

Returns:

The current value of the property.

setData

public void setData(Structure data)

Data to facilitate clients responding to the method reporting a standard exception to indicating that it was unable to complete successfully.

Methods may provide data that clients can use when responding to exceptions. Since the data that clients need may be specific to the context of the method reporting the exception, different methods that report the same exception may provide different data in the exception. The documentation for each each method will describe what, if any, data it provides for each exception it reports. The ArgumentLocations, FileLocations, and TransientIndication classes are intended as possible values for this property. DynamicID may also be useful as a value for this property (although that is not its primary purpose). Some interfaces may provide their own specific classes for use as the value of this property when reporting exceptions from their methods.

Some methods will not set this property when reporting exceptions.

Parameters:

data - New value for the property.

_getType

public com.vmware.vapi.bindings.type.ErrorType _getType()

Description copied from interface: StaticStructure

WARNING: Internal API, subject to change in future versions. Returns StructType instance representing the static bindings type for this Structure.

Specified by:

_getType in interface StaticStructure

Returns:

the static bindings StructType

_getDataValue

public StructValue _getDataValue()

Description copied from interface: Structure

Returns this Structure represented in the dynamic DataValue model.

Attempts to change the returned StructValue representation are not required to change the state of this structure. Actually the behavior is implementation dependent and is unspecified. In general the returned value shouldn't be changed.

Specified by:

_getDataValue in interface Structure

Returns:

StructValue representing this structure

_validate

public void _validate()

Description copied from interface: StaticStructure

Validates the state of the discriminated unions and HasFieldsOf restrictions (if any) in this Java language binding Structure.

More precisely, for each union: given value of the discriminant/tag field (@UnionTag in the IDL) of an union in this structure, validates that:

all fields of the union required for that value of the discriminant are set fields of the union that are not allowed for that value of the discriminant are not set any other fields of the structure (not participating in the union) do not affect the validation result

Specified by:

_validate in interface StaticStructure

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

getMessage

public String getMessage()

Overrides:

getMessage in class Throwable

_hasTypeNameOf

public boolean _hasTypeNameOf(Class<? extends Structure> clazz)

Description copied from interface: Structure

Checks that the runtime type name matches the type name from the binding class.

Specified by:

_hasTypeNameOf in interface Structure

Parameters:

clazz - type of the result structure. cannot be null.

Returns:

true if this structures type name matches exactly the provided class type name.

_convertTo

public <T extends Structure> T _convertTo(Class<T> clazz)

Description copied from interface: Structure

Converts this structure into an instance of the provided class structure if possible. A conversion will be possible if the requested structure's fields are all present in this structure.

Specified by:

_convertTo in interface Structure

Parameters:

clazz - type of the result structure. cannot be null.

Returns:

an instance of the requested type if conversion is possible. CoreException is thrown otherwise.

_setDynamicField

public void _setDynamicField(String fieldName,
                    DataValue fieldValue)

Description copied from interface: StaticStructure

Sets a dynamic field value. The dynamic filed is extra filed that is not part of the static fields of the structure.

Specified by:

_setDynamicField in interface StaticStructure

Parameters:

fieldName - canonical name of the dynamic field to set

fieldValue - the value of the field

_getDynamicField

public DataValue _getDynamicField(String fieldName)

Description copied from interface: StaticStructure

Get dynamic filed value. Works only on dynamic fields.

Specified by:

_getDynamicField in interface StaticStructure

Parameters:

fieldName - the canonical name of the dynamic field

Returns:

the DataValue of the dynamic field

_getDynamicFieldNames

public Set<String> _getDynamicFieldNames()

Description copied from interface: StaticStructure

Get the names of the dynamic fields in the structure.

Specified by:

_getDynamicFieldNames in interface StaticStructure

Returns:

set of the canonical field names for the dynamic fields

_getClassType

public static com.vmware.vapi.bindings.type.ErrorType _getClassType()

WARNING: Internal API, subject to change in future versions.

Returns:

ErrorType instance representing the static bindings type for this Error.

_getCanonicalName

public String _getCanonicalName()

Description copied from interface: Structure

Returns the canonical name of the structure. By default the canonical name is derived from the fully-qualified IDL name by converting to lower case and inserting underscores between words. For example org.example.FooBar would turn into org.example.foo_bar.

Specified by:

_getCanonicalName in interface Structure

Returns:

canonical name

_getCanonicalTypeName

public static String _getCanonicalTypeName()

Returns the canonical type name. See _getCanonicalName().

Returns:

canonical type name

_newInstance

public static Error _newInstance(StructValue structValue)

WARNING: Internal API, subject to change in future versions.
Returns new instance of this binding class and injects the provided data value.
WARNING: The returned object is not fully initialized.

Parameters:

structValue - the source of the data contained in the binding object. Could contain more data than fields of this class can describe i.e. newer version of the binding object. Could be null.

Returns:

the static bindings StructType
