Class BinaryExceptionClassifier

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.classify.SubclassClassifier<Throwable,Boolean>
      org.springframework.classify.BinaryExceptionClassifier

All Implemented Interfaces:

Classifier<Throwable,Boolean>

public class BinaryExceptionClassifier
extends SubclassClassifier<Throwable,Boolean>

A Classifier for exceptions that has only two classes (true and false). Classifies objects according to their inheritance relation with the supplied types. If the object to be classified is one of the provided types, or is a subclass of one of the types, then the non-default value is returned (usually true).

BinaryExceptionClassifier(Map<Class<? extends Throwable>,Boolean> typeMap)
Create a binary exception classifier using the given classification map and a default classification of false.

BinaryExceptionClassifier(Map<Class<? extends Throwable>,Boolean> typeMap, boolean defaultValue)
Create a binary exception classifier using the given classification map and a default classification of false.

Method Summary

Boolean	classify(Throwable classifiable) Return the value from the type map whose key is the class of the given Throwable, or its nearest ancestor if a subclass.

Constructor Detail

BinaryExceptionClassifier

public BinaryExceptionClassifier(boolean defaultValue)

Create a binary exception classifier with the provided default value.

Parameters:

defaultValue - defaults to false

BinaryExceptionClassifier

public BinaryExceptionClassifier(Collection<Class<? extends Throwable>> exceptionClasses,
                                 boolean value)

Create a binary exception classifier with the provided classes and their subclasses. The mapped value for these exceptions will be the one provided (which will be the opposite of the default).

Parameters:

value -

BinaryExceptionClassifier

public BinaryExceptionClassifier(Collection<Class<? extends Throwable>> exceptionClasses)

Create a binary exception classifier with the default value false and value mapping true for the provided classes and their subclasses.

BinaryExceptionClassifier

public BinaryExceptionClassifier(Map<Class<? extends Throwable>,Boolean> typeMap)

Create a binary exception classifier using the given classification map and a default classification of false.

Parameters:

typeMap -

BinaryExceptionClassifier

public BinaryExceptionClassifier(Map<Class<? extends Throwable>,Boolean> typeMap,
                                 boolean defaultValue)

Create a binary exception classifier using the given classification map and a default classification of false.

Parameters:

typeMap -

Method Detail

setTraverseCauses

public void setTraverseCauses(boolean traverseCauses)

classify

public Boolean classify(Throwable classifiable)

Description copied from class: SubclassClassifier

Return the value from the type map whose key is the class of the given Throwable, or its nearest ancestor if a subclass.

Specified by:

classify in interface Classifier<Throwable,Boolean>

Overrides:

classify in class SubclassClassifier<Throwable,Boolean>

Parameters:

classifiable - the input object. Can be null.

Returns:

an object. Can be null, but implementations should declare if this is the case.
