Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for responding to error events are provided. The method includes: detecting a detected error event while executing a computer readable program; looking for a predefined response to the detected error event in a modifiable error event response data structure; validating the modifiable error event response data structure; and responding to the detected error event according to the predefined response if the modifiable error event response data structure is valid and if the modifiable error event response data structure includes the predefined response.
Claims29
A method for responding to error events, the method comprising:
- detecting a detected error event while executing a computer readable program;
- looking for a predefined response to the detected error event in a modifiable error event response data structure;
- validating the modifiable error event response data structure;
- and
- responding to the detected error event according to the predefined response if the modifiable error event response data structure is valid and if the modifiable error event response data structure comprises the predefined response.
A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
- detect a detected error event;
- look for a predefined response to the detected error event in a modifiable error event response data structure;
- validate the modifiable error event response data structure;
- and
- respond to the detected error event according to the predefined response if the modifiable error event response data structure is valid and if the modifiable error event response data structure comprises the predefined response.
A system having error event response capabilities, the system comprises:
- a storage unit adapted to store a computer readable program and a modifiable error event response data structure;
- and
- a processor, adapted to:
- (i) detect a detected error event while executing a computer readable program;
- (ii) look for a predefined response to the detected error event in a modifiable error event response data structure;
- (iii) validating the modifiable error event response data structure;
- and
- (iv) respond to the detected error event according to the predefined response if the modifiable error event response data structure is valid and if the modifiable error event response data structure comprises the predefined response.
A method for responding to error events, the method comprises:
- sending from a computer to a computer readable program executing system a modifiable error event response data structure;
- and
- receiving, by the computer, an indication about an occurrence of a certain error event if the modifiable error event response data structure comprises a response to the certain error event that includes sending to the computer the indication about the occurrence of the certain error event.
A method for responding to error events, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer readable program executing system, a modifiable error event response data structure;
- receiving a modification request of the modifiable error event response data structure;
- and
- evaluating a fulfillment of a modification criterion and accepting the modification request if the modification criterion is fulfilled.
