Please forgive this stupid question, but I'm still trying to understand exactly what the double "::" means. I have read that I can use (derive) to establish a hierarchy and I can imagine how this would be useful for things like throwing errors and catching them and logging, but I've also read that "::" adds the namespace to the symbol, so I would assume that I can not match ::logging from one namespace with ::logging from another?
I'm thinking of this especially in my use of Slingshot, where I was thinking of doing something like: (throw+ {:type ::database-problem :message "something wrong in the database query"}) and then at a higher level in my code I was going to catch it with something like: (derive ::database-problem ::logging) and then using Dire: (dire/with-handler! #'database/remove-this-item [:type ::logging] (fn [e & args] (timbre/log (str " database/remove-this-item: The time : " (dates/current-time-as-string) ( str e)))) but conceptually I am having trouble understanding how ::logging in one namespace can match ::logging in another namespace. Perhaps I should just use normal keywords? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
