IllegalArgumentException
org.apache.commons.lang.IncompleteArgumentException
public class IncompleteArgumentException
extends IllegalArgumentException
Thrown to indicate an incomplete argument to a method.
This exception supplements the standard
IllegalArgumentException
by providing a more semantically rich description of the problem.
IncompleteArgumentException
represents the case where a method takes
in a parameter that has a number of properties, some of which have not been set.
A case might be a search requirements bean that must have three properties set
in order for the method to run, but only one is actually set.
This exception would be used in place of
IllegalArgumentException
, yet it still extends it.
public void foo(PersonSearcher search) {
if (search.getSurname() == null ||
search.getForename() == null ||
search.getSex() == null) {
throw new IncompleteArgumentException("search");
}
// do something with the searcher
}
