seException

• The general exception class thrown from failed methods.

• Exception contains two pieces of information:

  • Error code (FILE_ERROR, TRANSMITTAL_UNACCESSIBLE, etc)
    • seException::getCode
  • Description string (freeform)
    • seException::getWhat

• Must be caught at the application/library level code, otherwise application will exit.

  • Gives ability to clean up after the API encounters an error.

try

{

seWorkspace wksp;

seTransmittal xmtl;

wksp::openTransmittalByFile( “bad_path.stf”, xmtl )

}

catch( seException & e )

{

cout << “Exception was thrown: “ << e.getWhat << “(code: “ << e.getCode() << “)” << endl;

// clean up application memory and continue

}
