I start with the code. This method calls the reflection method.
try {
Method method = states.getClass().getDeclaredMethod(
getCurrentStateId() + "_" + request.getEvent());
states.setData(request, dataManager);
method.invoke(states);
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
logger.debug("Method " + getCurrentStateId() + "_" + request.getEvent()
+ " cannot be found - invocation not performed.", e);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
throw new InternalException("Method invocation with reflection failed.", e);
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
throw new InternalException("Method invocation with reflection failed.", e);
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
throw new InternalException("Method invocation with reflection failed.", e);
}
and calls the method with the following code that generates PropertiesDontMatchException(runtime).
...
if (totalCredits < minimumCredits || totalCredits > maximumCredits) {
throw new PropertiesDontMatchException("Minimum amount of credits=" + minimumCredits
+ ", maximum amount of credits=" + maximumCredits + ". Your amount of credits=" + totalCredits + ". You have to modify your set of subjects.");
}
...
The fact is that my runtime exception is wrapped in InvocationTargetExceptionand caught in the first piece of code. This is not what I want. But according to the documentation, this is the correct behavior.
So I came up with this solution
...
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
if (e.getCause() instanceof PropertiesDontMatchException) {
throw (PropertiesDontMatchException) e.getCause();
}
throw new InternalException("Method invocation with reflection failed.", e);
}
...
Is this the correct way to throw my exception at runtime, or is there a better solution to this problem?
