[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (SEAMCATCH-16) Provide convenience constants for precedents

Provide convenience constants for precedents -------------------------------------------- Key: SEAMCATCH-16 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/SEAMCATCH-16 Project: Seam Catch Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: Alpha1, Alpha2 Reporter: Dan Allen Assignee: Jason Porter Priority: Minor Fix For: Alpha3 First time users get a little scared when they see: public void redirectingHandler(@Handles(precedence = -100) CaughtException<Throwable> event, NavigationHandler nav) { .. } To provide more guidance to first time users and integrators, we should provide some named constants for common purposes, similar to the Install annotation from Seam 2. For instance, -100 is perhaps a typical precedence for a built-in handler. Thus, we can make this a constant: public void redirectingHandler(@Handles(precedence = BUILT_IN) CaughtException<Throwable> event, NavigationHandler nav) { .. } Here's a possible list: BUILT_IN = -100; FRAMEWORK = -50; DEFAULT = 0; LOW = 50; HIGH = 100; Of course, the user can always use any int value. These are just conveniences.
