-------------------------------------
Summary: Improve exception message when retrieving String
properties
Key: OAK-10101
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-10101
Project: Jackrabbit Oak
Issue Type: Task
Components: segment-tar
Affects Versions: 1.48.0
Reporter: Andrei Dulceanu
Assignee: Andrei Dulceanu
Fix For: 1.50.0
If we have a property of type {{BINARIES}} and we try to read it, using the Oak
API, as an array of {{{}STRING{}}}, then the exception message of the correctly
raised {{IllegalStateException}} is:
{noformat}
java.lang.IllegalStateException: String is too long: 2325884045577463478"
(where the number is basically random) {noformat}
In order to give a hint to the caller about what might go wrong, we should
improve the exception message:
{noformat}
throw new IllegalStateException("String is too long: " + length + "; possibly
trying to read a BLOB using getString; can not convert BLOB to String");
{noformat}
