Detailed Description

A class for error processing.

The Error class is used to transport error information from the server to the client within libdap. This class is also the base class for all the errors thrown by methods in the DAP, so catching Error will catch all DAP throws. Errors consist of an error code and a string. The code can be used to quickly distinguish between certain common errors while the string is used to convey information about the error to the user. The error code should never be displayed to the user.

This class is used on both clients and servers. The print() and parse() methods are used to send the object back and forth.

Note
A past version of this class supported the notion of an error correcting program (Tcl, Java, ...) that could be sent from the server to the client to help users correct the error and resubmit the request. This never worked well in practice and that feature of the class is deprecated.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Error() [1/3]

libdap::Error::Error ( ErrorCode  ec,
std::string  msg,
std::string  file = "",
int  line = 0 
)

Create an instance with a specific code and message string. This ctor provides a way to to use any code and string you'd like. The code can be one of the standard codes or it may be specific to your server. Thus a client which can tell it's dealing with a specific type of server can use the code accordingly. In general, clients simply show the error message to users or write it to a log file.

Parameters
ecThe error code
msgThe error message string.

Definition at line 86 of file Error.cc.

◆ Error() [2/3]

libdap::Error::Error ( std::string  msg,
std::string  file = "",
int  line = 0 
)

Create an instance with a specific message. The error code is set to unknown_error.

Parameters
msgThe error message.

ErrorCode

Definition at line 95 of file Error.cc.

◆ Error() [3/3]

libdap::Error::Error ( )

Specializations of Error should use this to set the error code and message.

Definition at line 74 of file Error.cc.

Member Function Documentation

◆ get_error_code()

ErrorCode libdap::Error::get_error_code ( ) const

Get the ErrorCode for this instance.

Definition at line 249 of file Error.cc.

◆ get_error_message()

string libdap::Error::get_error_message ( ) const

Return the current error message.

Definition at line 278 of file Error.cc.

◆ OK()

bool libdap::Error::OK ( ) const

Is the Error object valid?

Use this function to determine whether an Error object is valid. To be a valid, an Error object must either be: 1) empty or contain a message and a code.

Returns
TRUE if the object is valid, FALSE otherwise.

Definition at line 135 of file Error.cc.

◆ parse()

bool libdap::Error::parse ( FILE *  fp)

Parse an Error object.

Given an input stream (FILE *) fp, parse an Error object from stream. Values for fields of the Error object are parsed and this is set accordingly. This is how a client program receives an error object from a server.

Parameters
fpA valid file pointer to an input stream.
Returns
TRUE if no error was detected, FALSE otherwise.

Definition at line 158 of file Error.cc.

◆ print() [1/2]

void libdap::Error::print ( FILE *  out) const

Creates a printable representation of the Error object. It is suitable for framing, and also for printing and sending over a network.

The printed representation produced by this function can be parsed by the parse() member function. Thus parse and print form a symmetrical pair that can be used to send and receive an Error object over the network in a MIME document.

Parameters
outA pointer to the output stream on which the Error object is to be rendered.

Definition at line 200 of file Error.cc.

◆ print() [2/2]

void libdap::Error::print ( std::ostream &  out) const

Creates a printable representation of the Error object. It is suitable for framing, and also for printing and sending over a network.

The printed representation produced by this function can be parsed by the parse() member function. Thus parse and print form a symmetrical pair that can be used to send and receive an Error object over the network in a MIME document.

Parameters
strmA reference to the output stream on which the Error object is to be rendered.

Definition at line 229 of file Error.cc.

◆ set_error_code()

void libdap::Error::set_error_code ( ErrorCode  ec = undefined_error)

Set the ErrorCode. If the current error message has not been set, use ec to set the error message. The resulting error message string is the same as the ErrorCode name. If ec is not within the range of values for an OPeNDAP ErrorCode, the error message is left unchanged.

Parameters
ecThe new ErrorCode value.

Definition at line 262 of file Error.cc.

◆ set_error_message()

void libdap::Error::set_error_message ( std::string  msg = "")

Set the error message.

Definition at line 287 of file Error.cc.

◆ what()

virtual const char* libdap::Error::what ( ) const
throw (
)
inlinevirtual

The pointer is valid only for the lifetime of the Error instance. jhrg 9/22/20.
