Method Detail

handle

<RECOVER_TYPE> RECOVER_TYPE handle(FailureReport<RECOVER_TYPE> report,
                                   String reporterName)

Reports a failure to this resolver. The resolver will choose the appropriate action to resove the failuer. This may include calling the recover functions potentially provided through report. If they are claade, this method will return the value generated by the recover functions. If the report describes a non-recoverable failure, this method will not return. This method might also not return if the handler thinks it’s not appropriate to continue.

Type Parameters:

RECOVER_TYPE - The recover value’s type.

Parameters:

report - Information about the failure. Will never be null.

reporterName - The name of the instance reporting the failure. Will never be null

Returns:

The value the reporter should use instead of the one that was expected to be generated by the failed action. Is created by the recover functions in report.
