[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Work started: (SOLDER-50) Throw a specialized exception when BeanManagerAware cannot resolve BeanManager

Throw a specialized exception when BeanManagerAware cannot resolve BeanManager ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: SOLDER-50 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SOLDER-50 Project: Seam Solder Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Core Reporter: Dan Allen Assignee: Lincoln Baxter III Priority: Minor The BeanManagerAware#getBeanManager() method currently throws an IllegalArgumentException when the BeanManager cannot be found by any provider. Because this exception is so generic, it's dangerous to bundle the lookup with other code because you aren't sure whether the IllegalArgumentException came from the BeanManager lookup or from a subsequent call, as in: try { BeanManager beanManager = BeanManagerAccessor.getBeanManager(); beanManager.fireEvent(payload); } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) { // what caused this? } Introduce a specialized checked exception for this unique failure. The proposed name is BeanManagerNotAvailable (or BeanManagerNotFound)
