Class TransitionExecutingFlowExecutionExceptionHandler

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.webflow.engine.support.TransitionExecutingFlowExecutionExceptionHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

FlowExecutionExceptionHandler

public class TransitionExecutingFlowExecutionExceptionHandler
extends java.lang.Object
implements FlowExecutionExceptionHandler

A flow execution exception handler that maps the occurrence of a specific type of exception to a transition to a new State.

The handled FlowExecutionException will be exposed in flash scope as FLOW_EXECUTION_EXCEPTION_ATTRIBUTE. The underlying root cause of that exception will be exposed in flash scope as ROOT_CAUSE_EXCEPTION_ATTRIBUTE.

Method Detail

add

public TransitionExecutingFlowExecutionExceptionHandler add(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.Throwable> exceptionClass,
                                                            java.lang.String targetStateId)

Adds an exception-to-target state mapping to this handler.

Parameters:

exceptionClass - the type of exception to map

targetStateId - the id of the state to transition to if the specified type of exception is handled

Returns:

this handler, to allow for adding multiple mappings in a single statement

add

public TransitionExecutingFlowExecutionExceptionHandler add(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.Throwable> exceptionClass,
                                                            TargetStateResolver targetStateResolver)

Adds a exception-to-target state resolver mapping to this handler.

Parameters:

exceptionClass - the type of exception to map

targetStateResolver - the resolver to calculate the state to transition to if the specified type of exception is handled

Returns:

this handler, to allow for adding multiple mappings in a single statement

getActionList

public ActionList getActionList()

Returns the list of actions to execute when this handler handles an exception. The returned list is mutable.

canHandle

public boolean canHandle(FlowExecutionException e)

Description copied from interface: FlowExecutionExceptionHandler

Can this handler handle the given exception?

Specified by:

canHandle in interface FlowExecutionExceptionHandler

Parameters:

e - the exception that occurred

Returns:

true if yes, false if no

handle

public void handle(FlowExecutionException exception,
                   RequestControlContext context)

Description copied from interface: FlowExecutionExceptionHandler

Handle the exception in the context of the current request. An implementation is expected to transition the flow to a state using RequestControlContext.execute(Transition).

Specified by:

handle in interface FlowExecutionExceptionHandler

Parameters:

exception - the exception that occurred

context - the execution control context for this request

exposeException

protected void exposeException(RequestContext context,
                               FlowExecutionException exception,
                               java.lang.Throwable rootCause)

Exposes the given flow exception and root cause in flash scope to make them available for response rendering. Subclasses can override this if they want to expose the exceptions in a different way or do special processing before the exceptions are exposed.

Parameters:

context - the request control context

exception - the exception being handled

rootCause - root cause of the exception being handled (could be null)

getTargetStateResolver

protected TargetStateResolver getTargetStateResolver(java.lang.Throwable e)

Find the mapped target state resolver for given exception. Returns null if no mapping can be found for given exception. Will try all exceptions in the exception cause chain.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
