Class FailureReason

java.lang.Object
  javax.slee.resource.FailureReason

public class FailureReason
extends java.lang.Object

This class defines the standard reason error codes for event processing failures reported to resource adaptor objects by the eventProcessingFailed callback method.

A SLEE vendor may define any implementation-specific reason codes that may be useful or appropriate by extending this class. The integer representation of implementation-specific event codes must be positive numbers greater than zero. The OTHER REASON reason code has the reserved value 0, while negative numbers are reserved for the remainder of the standard reason codes defined in this class.

A singleton instance of each enumerated value defined in this class is guaranteed (via an implementation of readResolve() - refer java.io.Serializable), so that equality tests using == are always evaluated correctly. (This equality test is only guaranteed if this class is loaded in the application's boot class path, rather than dynamically loaded at runtime.) However, it must also be noted that for any vendor-defined reason code, the isOtherReason() will return true, while the FailureReason (or subclass of FailureReason) object representing the vendor-defined reason code will not be equal, using the == operator or the equals method, to OTHER_REASON.

Since:

SLEE 1.1

Constructor Detail

FailureReason

protected FailureReason(int reason)

Protected constructor that allows subclasses to extend this class with additional vendor-defined reason codes, while preventing unauthorized object creation.

Parameters:

reason - the reason code.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if a vendor-defined reason code is less than or equal to 0.

Method Detail

fromInt

public static FailureReason fromInt(int reason)
                             throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Get a FailureReason object from an integer value.

This method returns the singleton objects for the failure reasons defined in this class. For all vendor-defined reason codes (those greater than 0 in value), a non-unique FailureReason object is return encapsulating that value.

Parameters:

reason - the reason as an integer.

Returns:

a FailureReason object corresponding to reason.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if reason is less that 0 and does not correspond to a SLEE-defined reason code.

toInt

public final int toInt()

Get an integer value representation for this FailureReason object.

Returns:

an integer value representation for this FailureReason object.

isOtherReason

public final boolean isOtherReason()

Determine if this FailureReason object represents the OTHER REASON reason, or represents a vendor-defined reason.

This method returns true if the FailureReason object is equal to OTHER_REASON, or if the reason code is a vendor-defined reason code, ie. is greater that 0. This allows fallback to the generic reason code if the consumer of the FailureReason object is not familiar with vendor-defined codes.

Returns:

true if this object represents the OTHER REASON reason, or represents a vendor-defined reason code, false otherwise.

isEventQueueFull

public final boolean isEventQueueFull()

Determine if this FailureReason object represents the EVENT QUEUE FULL reason.

This method is effectively equivalent to the conditional test: (this == EVENT_QUEUE_FULL), ie. the code:

if (reason.isEventQueueFull()) ...

is interchangeable with the code:

if (reason == FailureReason.EVENT_QUEUE_FULL) ...

Returns:

true if this object represents the EVENT QUEUE FULL reason, false otherwise.

isEventQueueTimeout

public final boolean isEventQueueTimeout()

Determine if this FailureReason object represents the EVENT QUEUE TIMEOUT reason.

This method is effectively equivalent to the conditional test: (this == EVENT_QUEUE_TIMEOUT), ie. the code:

if (reason.isEventQueueTimeout()) ...

is interchangeable with the code:

if (reason == FailureReason.EVENT_QUEUE_TIMEOUT) ...

Returns:

true if this object represents the EVENT QUEUE TIMEOUT reason, false otherwise.

isSystemOverLoad

public final boolean isSystemOverLoad()

Determine if this FailureReason object represents the SYSTEM OVERLOAD reason.

This method is effectively equivalent to the conditional test: (this == SYSTEM_OVERLOAD), ie. the code:

if (reason.isSystemOverload()) ...

is interchangeable with the code:

if (reason == FailureReason.SYSTEM_OVERLOAD) ...

Returns:

true if this object represents the SYSTEM OVERLOAD reason, false otherwise.

isEventMarshalingError

public final boolean isEventMarshalingError()

Determine if this FailureReason object represents the EVENT MARSHALING ERROR reason.

This method is effectively equivalent to the conditional test: (this == EVENT_MARSHALING_ERROR), ie. the code:

if (reason.isEventMarshalingError()) ...

is interchangeable with the code:

if (reason == FailureReason.EVENT_MARSHALING_ERROR) ...

Returns:

true if this object represents the EVENT MARSHALING ERROR reason, false otherwise.

isFiringTransactionRolledBack

public final boolean isFiringTransactionRolledBack()

Determine if this FailureReason object represents the FIRING TRANSACTION ROLLED BACK reason.

This method is effectively equivalent to the conditional test: (this == FIRING_TRANSACTION_ROLLED_BACK), ie. the code:

if (reason.isFiringTransactionRolledBack()) ...

is interchangeable with the code:

if (reason == FailureReason.FIRING_TRANSACTION_ROLLED_BACK) ...

Returns:

true if this object represents the FIRING TRANSACTION ROLLED BACK reason, false otherwise.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Compare this failure reason for equality with another.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - the object to compare this with.

Returns:

true if obj is an instance of this class representing the same failure reason as this, false otherwise.

hashCode

public final int hashCode()

Get a hash code value for this failure reason error code.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a hash code value.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Get the textual representation of the FailureReason object.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the textual representation of the FailureReason object.

getReason

protected final int getReason()

Get the reason code provided in the constructor. This method allows subclasses to implement a fromInt(int) method and override the toString() method if desired.

Returns:

the reason code.
