All Implemented Interfaces:

IPortalException, Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

```
public class PortalException
extends Exception
implements IPortalException
```
Basic class for all exceptions thrown inside the portal framework. This class supports "nested exceptions" concept, i.e. portal exceptions can wrap other thrown exceptions - this allows the system to propagate the execution stack trace, facilitating debugging.
```
 try {
      // Some code throws exception here
 ...
 } catch (Exception exc) {
      throw new PortalException(exc);
 }
 
```
You may dynmically extend the PortalException by implementing the PortalException.IPortalExceptionDelegate interface and registering your implementation with the portal.
The PortalException uses the registered delegate each time a new PortalException is constructed. It will invoke the IPortalExceptionDelegate.exceptionThrown function which gives the delegate an opprotunity to replace the original exception with a custom exception.
To register an exception delegate modify the setenv.bat/setenv.sh to have the following line: set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS% -DportalException.delegate=your.exception.delegate.class.name
The following is a simple example of an IPortalExceptionDelegate:
```
 

import java.sql.SQLException;

public class SampleExceptionDelegate implements PortalException.IPortalExceptionDelegate {

    public void initialize() {
    }

    public Throwable exceptionThrown(String message, Throwable target, PortalException portalException) {
        return new CustomException(message, target);
    }

    public class CustomException extends Exception {
        public CustomException(String message, Throwable cause) {
            super(message, cause);
        }

        public String getMessage() {
            Throwable t = getCause();
            if (t == null) {
                return super.getMessage();
            }

            if (t instanceof SQLException) {
                return "SQLException: " + super.getMessage();
            }

            return "Unknown Exception:" + super.getMessage();
        }
    }
}

 
 
```

    Return error list reference if any were created. If localize is true, then any message info's will be localized as well
    
    Returns:
    
    errors list, or empty list if none created
  - notImplemented
```
public static PortalException notImplemented(String methodName)
```
    Allows throwing "not implemented" exception.

 throw PortalException.notImplemented("SomeObject.someMethod");
 
```
    Parameters:

    Returns:
    
    Instance of the PortalException to throw further
  - addDetailsMesasge
```
public static void addDetailsMesasge(IMessageInfo messageInfo)
```
    When an exception is about to be thrown, you might want to add an explanatory message to the exception.
    Unfortunately, you might not be in the code firing the exception, but in the code that clearly understands the details of the exception.
    If so, add your message to the exception (to be thrown by you or someone else) with this API.
    The constructor of the PortalException will gather these up and expose them with the call: getErrorList()
    
    Parameters:
    
    messageInfo - Message to add to error list
    
    See Also:
    
    IMessageInfo
  - addDetailsMessage
```
