[seam-dev] DWG Meeting minutes

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

> 1) Standardised error codes
> 
> We discussed the idea of implementing standard error codes throughout 
> all Seam modules.  These error codes would be unique, and allow Seam 
> developers to reference a central database (such as Seam University) 
> describing each error and possible workarounds.  The error codes 
> themselves will be prefixed with a 2 or 3 letter code (that represents 
> the module), followed by a number.  For example:
> 
> [SEC-1234] Invalid credentials supplied
> 
> The SEC prefix represents an exception in the Seam Security module.  
> Other modules would have different codes, for example CAT = Seam Catch, 
> VAL = Seam Validation, SVL = Seam Servlet, and so forth.  The number 
> part of the error code will start at 0000 for each module.  The error 
> message itself should support internationalisation, which will be a 
> bonus to our non-english speaking users.  Each module will define its 
> own internationalised message resources.  Ken is going to work on 
> creating a new API in Solder which we can use to perform the logging of 
> these errors.

How does this relate to http://community.jboss.org/wiki/HowToLogInJBossProjects ?

I assume this is just the same and you'll need to go grab those prefixes ?

btw. what is DWG ? :)
