Interface ErrorCoded

public interface ErrorCoded

Interface that can be implemented by exceptions etc that are error coded. The error code is a String, rather than a number, so it can be given user-readable values, such as "object.failureDescription".

An error code can be resolved by a MessageSource, for example.
