proposal:
For 4.0 of the framework code, CascadingException
is updated to extend RuntimeException, and new exceptions
are created for all lifecycle methods except run(), stop()
and dispose().
So:
contextualize() throws ContextualizationException
init() throws InitializationException
etc.
For:
- existing code has already proven the exceptions are
neccessary. We need to add them.
- making use of RuntimeException means that existing code
will be able to compile and run if the exceptions are
not actually thrown.
- since the lifecycle exceptions are indeed (almost
always) runtime exceptions, this setup is also
correct.
Against:
- a significant body of existing code that uses avalon will
have to be updated to work with the new release (OTOH, it
will be a lot more work to change this later).
- does Cocoon2 have the time to update to this before the
beta? (if not, I propose the same change for 4.1)
cheers!
