Adding Bonobo::GeneralError exception to Bonobo::Moniker::resolve ?

[Martin Baulig <martin home-of-linux org>]

Hi Michael,

can we add a Bonobo::GeneralError exception or anything equivalent to
the Bonobo::Moniker::resolve method ?

I need this for my ditem moniker and it may be useful for the other config
monikers as well - when reading the file fails, I want to return an error
message rather than just returning CORBA_OBJECT_NIL.

Currently, we have

=====
#define EX_SET_NOT_FOUND(ev) bonobo_exception_set (ev, ex_Bonobo_Moniker_InterfaceNotFound)

static Bonobo_Unknown
ditem_resolve (BonoboMoniker               *moniker,
	       const Bonobo_ResolveOptions *options,
	       const CORBA_char            *requested_interface,
	       CORBA_Environment           *ev)
{
	Bonobo_Moniker         parent;
	Bonobo_ConfigDatabase  db, pdb = CORBA_OBJECT_NIL;
	const gchar           *name;

	if (strcmp (requested_interface, "IDL:Bonobo/ConfigDatabase:1.0")) {
		EX_SET_NOT_FOUND (ev);
		return CORBA_OBJECT_NIL; 
	}

	parent = bonobo_moniker_get_parent (moniker, ev);
	if (BONOBO_EX (ev))
		return CORBA_OBJECT_NIL;

	name = bonobo_moniker_get_name (moniker);


	if (parent != CORBA_OBJECT_NIL) {

		pdb = Bonobo_Moniker_resolve (parent, options, 
					      "IDL:Bonobo/ConfigDatabase:1.0", 
					      ev);
    
		bonobo_object_release_unref (parent, NULL);
		
		if (BONOBO_EX (ev) || pdb == CORBA_OBJECT_NIL)
			return CORBA_OBJECT_NIL;

	}

	if (!(db = bonobo_config_ditem_new (name, pdb, NULL))) {
		EX_SET_NOT_FOUND (ev);
		return CORBA_OBJECT_NIL; 
	}

	return db;
}
====

However, I don't think Bonobo::Moniker::InterfaceNotFound is the correct exception if
the moniker interface could be found - but the requested file does not exist or is not
in the correct format.
