Abstract:
In a component-based architecture, a method for processing a first error message to produce a second error message, said component-based architecture comprising a framework which is associated with a general lookup handler, said framework being capable of embedding one or more components associated with one or more component specific lookup handlers, said method comprising:selecting a component; generating a dynamic hierarchy of lookup handlers for said selected component after said selected component has been selected, said dynamic hierarchy of lookup handlers including: said generic lookup handler associated with said framework; and a component specific lookup handler associated with said selected component; processing said first error message through said dynamic hierarchy of lookup handlers, wherein said first error message is first attempted to be processed through said component specific lookup handler, said first error message is then processed, if said component specific lookup handler is unable to process said first error message, through said generic lookup handler; and producing said second error message after processing said first error message through said dynamic hierarchy of lookup handlers.
