Error Generator
The error generator creates xml content describing an error condition.
When an error occurs in a pipeline with a defined an error handler, the
sitemap manager activates the error generator, feeding it the cause of
the error.
-
Name : !error-notifier!
-
Class: org.apache.cocoon.sitemap.ErrorNotifier
-
Cacheable: no.
-
Mode: sitemap internal
DTD
XML generated by error generator uses the
namespace http://apache.org/cocoon/error/2.0 and
the error prefix.
Usually the error condition is described by a throwable object.
The information of this throwable object is used by the
error generator to produce the xml content.
The various elements of the xml content include the following.
-
The element
notify is the root element, having
attributes type and sender.
The attribute type has fixed value error.
The attribute sender describes the sender of the
error notification object. In the current implementation, it has
fixed value org.apache.cocoon.sitemap.ErrorNotifier.
-
The element
title stores the title of the eror notification.
In the current implementation, it has fixed value Cocoon error.
-
The
source element stores the class name of the throwable object
of the error notification.
-
The
message element stores the getMessage() result
of the throwable object of the error notification, and may be empty.
-
The
description element stores the toString() result
of the throwable object of the error notification.
-
Optional
extra elements stores nested exceptions
of the throwable object of the error notification.
