edu.virtualschool.jwaa.Fault Class Reference

Inheritance diagram for edu.virtualschool.jwaa.Fault:

Detailed Description

Fault is the abstract superclass of subclasses that organize faults into meaningful categories while supporting arbitrarily deep exception chaining to assist programmers in locating the precise cause. "Fault" is preferred to "exception" or "throwable" because it is shorter, less technical, and more understandable by end-users.
