Net::DBus::Error - Error details for remote method invocation
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package Music::Player::UnknownFormat;
use base qw(Net::DBus::Error);
# Define an error type for unknown track encoding type
# for a music player service
sub new {
my $proto = shift;
my $class = ref($proto) || $proto;
my $self = $class->SUPER::new(name => "org.example.music.UnknownFormat",
message => "Unknown track encoding format");
}
package Music::Player::Engine;
...snip...
# Play either mp3 or ogg music tracks, otherwise
# thrown an error
sub play {
my $self = shift;
my $url = shift;
if ($url =~ /\.(mp3|ogg)$/) {
...play the track
} else {
die Music::Player::UnknownFormat->new();
}
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This objects provides for strongly typed error handling. Normally
a service would simply call
die "some message text"
When returning the error condition to the calling DBus client, the
message is associated with a generic error code or "org.freedesktop.DBus.Failed".
While this suffices for many applications, occasionally it is desirable
to be able to catch and handle specific error conditions. For such
scenarios the service should create subclasses of the C<Net::DBus::Error>
object providing in a custom error name. This error name is then sent back
to the client instead of the genreic "org.freedesktop.DBus.Failed" code.

=cut
package Net::DBus::Error;
use strict;
use warnings;
use overload ('""' => 'stringify');
=item my $error = Net::DBus::Error->new(name => $error_name,
message => $description);
Creates a new error object whose name is given by the C<name>
parameter, and long descriptive text is provided by the
C<message> parameter. The C<name> parameter has certain
formatting rules which must be adhered to. It must only contain
the letters 'a'-'Z', '0'-'9', '-', '_' and '.'. There must be
at least two components separated by a '.', For example a valid
name is 'org.example.Music.UnknownFormat'.

}
=item $error->name
Returns the DBus error name associated with the object.
=cut
sub name {
my $self = shift;

}
=item $error->message
Returns the descriptive text/message associated with the
error condition.
=cut
sub message {

return $self->{message};
}
=item $error->stringify
Formats the error as a string in a manner suitable for
printing out / logging / displaying to the user, etc.
