Class BinaryExceptionClassifier

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.classify.SubclassClassifier<Throwable,Boolean>

org.springframework.classify.BinaryExceptionClassifier

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, 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).

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:

exceptionClasses - the exceptions to classify among

value - the value to classify

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.

Parameters:

exceptionClasses - the exception types to throw

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 - the map of types

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:

defaultValue - the default value to use

typeMap - the map of types to classify

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 classifiable thing

Returns:

C the classified value
