Handling Exceptions with case statement - convert Exception to int value
Hi,
I'm developing a web app, with servlets.
I'm catching Exceptions in my servlets, for example I would like a user to insert data into a form. If the data cannot be converted into a integer value a java.lang.NumberormatException is thrown.
I would like to catch this and then create a message giving a more specific clue to what happened. Unfortunatly it's possible that other exceptions could be caught, so I want to be able to check which type of Exception has been caught.
I started writing a getErrorMessage(int Code) class. The method has a case statement which just checks the code and return the appropriate message.
This worked well for SQL exceptions as they provide a getErrorCode method. But I was wondering is there any way to convert other Exceptions such as
java.lang.NumberormatException into an integer value?
Cheers
