The place to look for this kind of information is in the wix source code, and in particular in Events.h and IBootstrapperApplication.h in particular. I also look at the WixBA implementation and started with a ResolveSource similar to that implementation. But I needed to handle failures for a particular payload file and do retires. The approach I took may not be what you want, and may be a little complex to explain. But basically I changed the implementation of ResolveSource (from what I observed in WixBA) so that int retires was a field of the class rather than a method variable.
In ResolveSource I increment the retires based on e.PayloadId rather than, e.PackageOrContainerId, unless it is null. In CacheAcquireComplete I do some checks of the retry count, using e.PayloadId (unless null then e.PackageOrContainerId). If I want to retry return Result.Retry, otherwise return Result.Ok (which lets a failure ripple up). In CacheVerifyComplete I do some checks of the retry count using e.PayloadId (unless null then e.PackageId). If I want to retry return Result.TryAgain, otherwise return Result.Ok (which lets a failure ripple up). In CachePackageComplete I do some checks of the retry count, using e.PackageId . If I want to retry return Result.Retry, otherwise return Result.Ok (which lets a failure ripple up). ErrorEventArgs e are handled in a Error handler similar to ExecuteError() in WixBA. There are some other threads in the last year in which some of these issues are discussed.
