Throwable
FatalException
is a default implementation of the Throwable
interface.
It differs from the Exception class in that it marks the throwable as
fatal. That means it differs from a normal Exception
in its fatality.
It also uses the Logger.fatal
method to log itself, while the
Exception
class uses the Logger.error
method.
Example:
throw new FatalException("This is a detailed message that explains the problem.", this, arguments);
The above example is supposed to be in a method, that has been declared on a class.
Note that you normally do not throw instances of this class directly. It is better to sub-class it, that means to create a custom exception, that explains its purpose more closely by its name, and throw this exception instead.
If you are building a framework that shall be reused it is also helpful to built a exception inheritance hierarchy, where you have one base class. You can then categorize different exceptions by their inheritance hierarchy. This enables you to catch all exceptions from your whole framework or only from specific parts of your framework.
For a detailed explanation on how to use throwables, what this exception
framework offers you and how to work appropriately with throwables take a look at
the class documentation of the Throwable
interface.
new FatalException()
addStackTraceElement(), getCause(), getMessage(), getStackTrace(), getStringifier(), initCause(), setStringifier()
public function FatalException(message:String, thrower, args:Array)
Constructs a new FatalException
instance.
All arguments are allowed to be null
or undefined
. But if
one is, the string representation returned by the toString
method will
not be complete.
The args
array should be the internal arguments array of the method
that throws the throwable. The internal arguments array exists in every method
and contains its parameters, the callee method and the caller method. You can
refernce it in every method using the name "arguments"
.
message | the message that describes the problem in detail |
thrower | the object that declares the method that throws this fatal exception |
args | the arguments of the throwing method |
public function toString():String
Returns the string representation of this fatal exception.
If you do not call this method out of another method, it also executes the
fatal
method of the logger returned by the
AbstractThrowable.getLogger method passing this
because it thinks
that the virtual machine called this method.
The string representation is obtained via the invocation of the AbstractThrowable.doToString method that uses the stringifier returned by the static AbstractThrowable.getStringifier method.
If you want to change the appearance of all exceptions set a new stringifier via the static AbstractThrowable.setStringifier method.
If you only want to change the string representation of one exception and
its sub-classes overwrite the doToString
method in your custom
exception.
Do not overwrite this method because you will lose the functionality that invokes the logger when the exception has not been caught and has now reached the final 'level', the virtual machine, that invokes this method.
