All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class RBaseRuntimeException

extends java.lang.RuntimeException

The BaseException class is used across all core services. It allows you to set a message with an exception, much like the normal java.lang.Exception class but in addition you can also carry along an original exception if you want. This is incorportated in the output from getMessage and toString(). The previous version of this class used to check if the string passed in was part of the MessageCatalog and if so, then use the associated key in creating the exception message. Various constructors were also provided to do string replacement on the exception message. This functionality is now removed. It is the responsibility of the creator of the exception to lookup message text directly from the MessageCatalog and pass it to the constructor of the exception. Implementation inspired from various placed, most recently Javaworld, Javatips #91. Java 1.4 now has this functionality.
