Method Detail

handleErrors

void handleErrors(Object context,
                  Throwable... errors)

This method handles one or multiple errors that occurred in a generic component that can not handle them in a specific way.
In a typical server application you may like to log the errors while in a client application you might want to show a popup that displays the error.

Parameters:

context - is an Object with information about the context when the error occurred. Its string representation should be human readable and give additional hints to track down the error. E.g. the source or parameters of an operation where the error occurred. This parameter may also be null if no context information is available.

errors - are the errors that have been catched. Has to contain at least one Throwable.
