public interface ErrorCoded

Interface that can be implemented by exceptions etc. that are error coded. The error code is a String, rather than a number, so it can be given user-readable values, such as "object.failureDescription". These codes will be resolved by a com.interface21.context.MessageSource object.
This interface is necessary because both runtime and checked exceptions are useful, and they cannot share a common, framework-specific, superclass.
