MulTEx - the Multi-Tier Exception Handling Framework.
There are some documentations about MulTEx:
- The revised german conference paper of NET.OBJECT Days 2000
about the key concept of causal chains and the other features of MulTEx.
- The corresponding revised german conference slides of NET.OBJECT Days 2000.
- The english API documentation of MulTEx
(generated by JAVADOC).
- The demonstration programs with their message text file in the directory
demo
- The test cases in JUnit-style in the directory
test, if you can name that "documentation".

Installation
MulTEx is just a Java package named 'multex'.
- It requires JDK 1.1. Some none-core files for use in other environments require these
environments. The dependencies are:
- multex.demo.SwingFile.java: This demo program for using MulTEx with Swing requires JDK >= 1.2.2.
- errorPage.jsp: This example error page for a Java Server Page container requires such.
- Jdk1_4CauseGetter.java: Compiles only on JDK 1.4, but is deprecated and replaced by the
up-/downward compatible ReflectionCauseGetter.
- test/*.java: These test drivers use JUnit and are compilable only with JUnit >= 3.7.
- You have to guarantee, that the mother directory of directory
multex
is accessible via your CLASSPATH environment variable.
- The file
MsgText.properties or the localized variants of
it must be in the actual working directory in order to access an internationalized message
text for an exception.
- The contents of the
docs subdirectory needs not to be
copied.
It can always be regenerated by simply invoking the gendocs.bat.
You should do this with a JDK 1.2 javadoc tool.
