1388.0. "Any plans for try-catch support in OBB?" by STKAI1::T_ANDERSSON (Tomas Andersson) Mon Mar 24 1997 04:47

 Today, error handling in OBB is usually (?) done by sending pairs of ev
 arguments to each method.

 Are there any plans to support the C++ try-catch exception syntax in OBB?
 This would, in my opinion, be a really nice feature, for a lot of reasons.

	Tomas, I'd be interested in the answer to your question too. Just an indication of intent. But in any case... ...although OBB doesn't do it, you can. Just trap the ev error after each OBB call and then throw the exception. Somewhere else you can catch it. If you're doing this on the server then you should at the outer limit of you're program (in the method or its associate) 'raise' whatever exception is necessary. John D.
1388.2	At least not in the Bryce timeframe, don't know of long-term plans	VAXCPU::michaud	Jeff Michaud - ObjectBroker	`Mon Mar 24 1997 23:53`	9
	I don't believe there are any plans for it. The problem I recall is that not all our supported platforms support exceptions. And on some of those that do, there was another subset of platforms that didn't support a shared library that was loaded on the fly to throw exceptions. Nina or Peter I believe did the investigation was we were looking at supporting C++ exceptions in the IIOP bindings/ORB, and can give a better answer as my knowlege is all 2nd hand.
