Handling two WebException's properly

Hi Everyone, I am trying to handle two different WebException's properly. Basically they are handled after calling WebClient.DownloadFile(string address, string fileName) AFAIK, so far there are two I have to handle, both WebException's: The remote name could not be resolved (i.e. No network connectivity to access server to downloa...

php: simplexml exception retry

I am querying an API using SimpleXML which will occasionally fail for reasons unknown. I would like to have the script retry up to 5 times. How can I do this? I assume it has something to do with wrapping the object in a try/catch, but I'm not very experienced with this -- have tried to read the manual on exception handling but am sti...

how do I get only the stack trace from my app in rails?

The default behavior seems to be printing large stack traces like ArgumentError (too few arguments): app/controllers/players_controller.rb:55:in `format' app/controllers/players_controller.rb:55:in `create' /dh/passenger/lib/phusion_passenger/rack/request_handler.rb:92:in `process_request' /dh/passenger/lib/phusion_passenger/abstract_re...

Alternative to rescue in Ruby?

It seems like I have begin ... rescue ... end statements everywhere in my code! This doesn't seem like the correct thing to do. Can anyone suggest how I can catch any exceptions without having to place everything inside begin ... rescue ... end? Any way to just tell Ruby to shut up and just keep going even if an exception is raised? ...

How to protect code from crashes in this situation

int arr[ 5 ] = { 0 }; int i = 8; // out of bounds arr[ i ] = 8; I know that I can just check i like this if( i < 0 || i > 5 ) .... I also know about SEH in Visual Studio, but it looks like not working solution. __try { /* code */ } __except(GetExceptionCode() == EXCEPTION_ARRAY_BOUNDS_EXCEEDED) This is not working. As I see SEH...

Catch database exception in Kohana

I'm using Kohana 2. I would like to catch a database exception to prevent an error page when no connection to the server can be established. The error displayed is system/libraries/drivers/Database/Mysql.php [61]: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', syste...

Should the PHP community start using more descriptive Exceptions?

I work with Zend Framework a lot and I just took a peek at Kohana, and it strikes me as odd that this is a typical scenario in these frameworks: throw Some_Components_Exception( 'invalid argument' ); Where I believe this wouldn't be much more useful: throw Some_Components_InvalidArgumentException( 'whatever discription' ); Because ...

How do I handle all the exceptions in a C# class where both ctor and finalizer throw exceptions?

How can I handle all exceptions for a class similar to the following under certain circumstances? class Test : IDisposable { public Test() { throw new Exception("Exception in ctor"); } public void Dispose() { throw new Exception("Exception in Dispose()"); } ~Test() { this.Dispose(); } } I tried this but it do...

How to refactor use of the general Exception?

Our code catches the general exception everywhere. Usually it writes the error to a log table in the database and shows a MessageBox to the user to say that the operation requested failed. If there is database interaction, the transaction is rolled back. I have introduced a business logic layer and a data access layer to unravel so...

Php mkdir( ) exception handling

mkdir() is working correctly this question is more about catching an error. Instead of printing this when the directory exists I would just like to have it write to a message to me in a custom log. How do I create this exception. Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: File exists ...

C++ custom exceptions: run time performance and passing exceptions from C++ to C (as error info)

I am writing a custom C++ exception class (so I can pass exceptions occuring in C++ to another language via a C API). My initial plan of attack was to proceed as follows: //C++ myClass { public: myClass(); ~myClass(); void foo() // throws myException int foo(const int i, const bool b) // throws myException } * myClassPtr;...

Can I automatically throw descriptive exceptions with parameter values and class feild information?

I honestly don't throw exceptions often. I catch them even less, ironically. I currently work in shop where we let them bubble up to avicode. For whatever reason, however, avicode isn't configured to capture some of the critical bits I need when these exceptions come bouncing back to my attention. Specifically, I'd like to see the pa...

What is weird about wrapping setjmp and longjmp?

Hello. I am using setjmp and longjmp for the first time, and I ran across an issue that comes about when I wrap setjmp and longjmp. I boiled the code down to the following example: #include <stdio.h> #include <setjmp.h> jmp_buf jb; int mywrap_save() { int i = setjmp(jb); return i; } int mywrap_call() { longjmp(jb, 1); printf(...

Exception handling best practices

Hi Is there any performance problem or something else about letting the exception to propagate, or it is better to write it like this try { } catch { throw; } ...

Return in catch block?

Is is wrong to have a return statement in a catch block? What are the alternatives? i.e: public bool SomeFunction() { try { //somecode return true; } catch(Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.message); return false; } } ...

Event is causing an error, but I can't catch the exception

A developer has created a custom control in ASP.NET using VB.NET. The custom control uses a repeater. In certain scenarios, the rpt_ItemDataBound event is encountering a data error. My goal is rather than having the user see the yellow screen of death, give the user a friendlier error explaining exactly what the data error is. I figu...

Error Messaged and Error Code design

We are designing set of web services which will return XML string in response. These are RESTFul services so I will have to send exception inside element. I am planing to design set of Error code which can help me determine where level occured just by looking at the code. For Example 1000 - Application Level 2000 - DB level 3000 ...

Java exception handling in non sequential tasks (pattern/good practice)

There are some task that should't be done in parallel, (for example opening a file, reading, writing, and closing, there is an order on that...) But... Some task are more like a shoping list, I mean they could have a desirable order but it's not a must..example in communication or loading independient drivers etc.. For that kind of tas...

Does rails do a rollback if I use begin...rescue?

I'd like to add a begin...rescue block to one of my controllers create method, in order to log better info and construct the correct error message to return to the client. Does the rescue in any way 'interrupt' the rollback process? I'm assuming rails automatically does a rollback. When does it happen? Has it already happened by the t...
