/**
* An exception that provides an easy and safe way to add contextual information.
*
* An exception trace itself is often insufficient to provide rapid diagnosis of the issue.
* Frequently what is needed is a select few pieces of local contextual data.
* Providing this data is tricky however, due to concerns over formatting and nulls.
*
* The contexted exception approach allows the exception to be created together with a
* list of context label-value pairs. This additional information is automatically included in
* the message and printed stack trace.
*
* An unchecked version of this exception is provided by ContextedRuntimeException.
*
*
* To use this class write code as follows:
*
*
* try {
* ...
* } catch (Exception e) {
* throw new ContextedException("Error posting account transaction", e)
* .addContextValue("Account Number", accountNumber)
* .addContextValue("Amount Posted", amountPosted)
* .addContextValue("Previous Balance", previousBalance);
* }
* }
*
*
* or improve diagnose data at a higher level:
*
*
* try {
* ...
* } catch (ContextedException e) {
* throw e.setContextValue("Transaction Id", transactionId);
* } catch (Exception e) {
* if (e instanceof ExceptionContext) {
* e.setContextValue("Transaction Id", transactionId);
* }
* throw e;
* }
* }
*
*
* The output in a printStacktrace() (which often is written to a log) would look something like the following:
*
*
* org.apache.commons.lang3.exception.ContextedException: java.lang.Exception: Error posting account transaction
* Exception Context:
* [1:Account Number=null]
* [2:Amount Posted=100.00]
* [3:Previous Balance=-2.17]
* [4:Transaction Id=94ef1d15-d443-46c4-822b-637f26244899]
