Method Detail

causeMessages

public static java.lang.String causeMessages(java.lang.Throwable e)

This is the same as causeTrace(java.lang.Throwable), but it doesn't print the exception class name if the class is inside an fmpp package.

causeTrace

public static java.lang.String causeTrace(java.lang.Throwable e)

Returns the cause trace of an exception. This is similar to a J2SE 1.4+ stack-trace, but it is shorter, because it does not contain the "at" lines.

classForName

public static java.lang.Class classForName(java.lang.String className)
                                    throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Tries to load the class with the current context class loader, and only then with the current defining class loader.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

dictionaryToMap

public static java.util.Map dictionaryToMap(java.util.Dictionary dict)

getCauseException

public static java.lang.Throwable getCauseException(java.lang.Throwable e)

listContainsObject

public static boolean listContainsObject(java.util.List list,
                                         java.lang.Object o)

Checks if the list contains the given object (exactly the same instance).

mapContainsObject

public static boolean mapContainsObject(java.util.Map map,
                                        java.lang.Object o)

Checks if the map contains the given object (exactly the same instance) as value.

findObject

public static int findObject(java.util.List list,
                             java.lang.Object o)

Returns the first index of the given object (exactly the same instance) in the list.

Returns:

the index of the first occurance, or -1 if not found.

checkXmlSupportAvailability

public static void checkXmlSupportAvailability(java.lang.String requiredForThis)
                                        throws InstallationException

Checks if XML API-s (JAXP, SAX2, DOM) are present. Can be a bit slow depending on the actual class loader setup.

Parameters:

requiredForThis - a short sentence that describes for human reader if for what do we need the XML support (e.g. "Usage of xml data loader." or "Set XML entity resolver."). This sentence is used in error message of the InstallationException. Can be null.

Throws:

InstallationException

numberToInt

public static int numberToInt(java.lang.Number value)

Loseless convertion to int.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the loseless conversion is not possible. The error message contains the details.

add

public static java.lang.String[] add(java.lang.String[] a1,
                                     java.lang.String[] a2)

Concatenates two arrays.
