Problem
Specialized exceptions (such as RWInetHostNotFound) are not propagated out to the calling thread in the Tools.h++ Professional inet module. Exceptions are instead propagated as an RWxmsg.
Cause
The way exceptions are currently handled in the inet module is by using the
Action
This has been reported as a bug (bug ID #9504). If you must be able to catch and handle the specific exception that was thrown, you can test the RWXmsg::why() string like this:
Specialized exceptions (such as RWInetHostNotFound) are not propagated out to the calling thread in the Tools.h++ Professional inet module. Exceptions are instead propagated as an RWxmsg.
Cause
The way exceptions are currently handled in the inet module is by using the
RWIOUResult::setException(const RWCString& msg) method. If a specialized exception such as RWInetHostNotFound is thrown, the setException() method is called with the error message passed in as an RWCString.
The setException() method then creates a new RWxmsg object with the passed-in error string. This results in the exception being stored as an RWxmsg instead of the more specific error object (RWInetHostNotFound in this example).
When the exception propagates out to the calling thread, it is caught as an RWxmsg.
Action
This has been reported as a bug (bug ID #9504). If you must be able to catch and handle the specific exception that was thrown, you can test the RWXmsg::why() string like this:
catch (RWxmsg & x)
{
cout << RWxmsg caught: << x.why () << endl;
if(RWCString(x.why()).contains(RWInetHostNotFound)
cout << RWInetHostNotFound exception << endl;
else
cout << doesn't work << endl;
}
