Hi guys, <div>I was reviewing the Human Task Module and more specifically the HornetQ implementation. </div><div>I was writing some tests to check the behavior after a logical failure in the server side and I reach a point where some design questions appear:</div>
<div><br></div><div>The following line tries to start a task which doesn't exist in the server:</div><div><br></div><div>client.start(3, "");</div><div><br></div><div>Where client is -> TaskService.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This leads to a Runtime Exception in the client side with a clear message: </div><div>"Command OperationRequest faild due to No Task with ID 3 was found!. Please contact task server administrator." <-- not sure about the administrator part</div>
<div><br></div><div>I understand that we are throwing a Runtime Exception to be able to not declare the exception inside the TaskService interface, but...</div><div>For real implementations the user will be forced to do the following:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div> try{</div><div> client.start(3, "");</div><div> }catch(Exception e){</div><div> assertEquals("Command OperationRequest faild due to No Task with ID 3 was found!. Please contact task server administrator.", e.getMessage());</div>
<div> // or notify the UI about the error using that message.</div><div> }</div></div><div>No matter the method that the user calls in the client UIs the try/catch block will need to be included in order to not break the app.</div>
<div>So my question is: we already have the TaskException class which extends RuntimeException, there are not too many implementations, but we surely can add</div><div>the TaskPersistence exception, logical exceptions, etc. </div>
<div>In my perspective adding the exception to both interfaces (TaskService and AsyncTaskService) will provide a more clear approach to the users that in the end will</div><div>need to add the try catch no matter why. </div>
<div><br></div><div>In my opinion, this is just the first step of providing our clients a way to notify the errors to their UIs.</div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward for your comments and feedback! </div><div><br></div>
