Allows the storage and retrieval of contextual information based on label-value pairs for exceptions.

Implementations are expected to manage the pairs in a list-style collection that keeps the pairs in the sequence of their addition.

public interface ExceptionContext {
Adds a contextual label-value pair into this context.

The pair will be added to the context, independently of an already existing pair with the same label.

Params:
  • label – the label of the item to add, null not recommended
  • value – the value of item to add, may be null
Returns:this, for method chaining, not null

ExceptionContext addContextValue(String label, Object value);
Sets a contextual label-value pair into this context.

The pair will be added normally, but any existing label-value pair with the same label is removed from the context.

Params:
  • label – the label of the item to add, null not recommended
  • value – the value of item to add, may be null
Returns:this, for method chaining, not null

ExceptionContext setContextValue(String label, Object value);
Retrieves all the contextual data values associated with the label.
Params:
  • label – the label to get the contextual values for, may be null
Returns:the contextual values associated with the label, never null
/** * Retrieves all the contextual data values associated with the label. * * @param label the label to get the contextual values for, may be {@code null} * @return the contextual values associated with the label, never {@code null} */
List<Object> getContextValues(String label);
Retrieves the first available contextual data value associated with the label.
Params:
  • label – the label to get the contextual value for, may be null
Returns:the first contextual value associated with the label, may be null
/** * Retrieves the first available contextual data value associated with the label. * * @param label the label to get the contextual value for, may be {@code null} * @return the first contextual value associated with the label, may be {@code null} */
Object getFirstContextValue(String label);
Retrieves the full set of labels defined in the contextual data.
Returns:the set of labels, not null
/** * Retrieves the full set of labels defined in the contextual data. * * @return the set of labels, not {@code null} */
Set<String> getContextLabels();
Retrieves the full list of label-value pairs defined in the contextual data.
Returns:the list of pairs, not null
/** * Retrieves the full list of label-value pairs defined in the contextual data. * * @return the list of pairs, not {@code null} */
List<Pair<String, Object>> getContextEntries();
Gets the contextualized error message based on a base message. This will add the context label-value pairs to the message.
Params:
  • baseMessage – the base exception message without context information appended
Returns:the exception message with context information appended, not null
/** * Gets the contextualized error message based on a base message. * This will add the context label-value pairs to the message. * * @param baseMessage the base exception message <b>without</b> context information appended * @return the exception message <b>with</b> context information appended, not {@code null} */
