Bear in mind that since the errors I encounter are generated by my own code, some of the details will be reflective of that code. Just look past code specifics and into the heart of the matter in order to find what, within your OWN application, spawned your non-informative Model-Glue error.
May I also encourage all of you Model-Glue developers to do a similar thing as you encounter such ambiguous and frustrating errors. If you'll forward those to me (dougboude att geemale dote calm) along with a cause and fix, I'll gladly add them for the benefit of the community!
Without further adieux, my "Ambiguous Model-Glue Error Matrix" as it currently exists:

Case sensitivity issue when using Reactor with or without a Modelglue Generic Event. The generic commit lists the value as "ImageRecord"; the actual object exists as "imageRecord". Portion of the event calling the generic commit: <message name=""ModelGlue.genericCommit"">
reactor.xml corresponding entry:<argument name=""recordName"" value=""ImageRecord"" /> <argument name=""criteria"" value=""imageID"" /> <argument name=""object"" value=""image"" /> </message> <object name="hf_image" alias="image">
<hasOne name="Report"> <relate from="ReportID" to="ReportID" /> </hasOne> </object> |
Make sure that case matches on every front. Generic event's recordname value; generic event's object value; alias name in reactor.xml for that object; actual name of record object generated by Reactor. Correct all case values, put Reactor into Development mode (within coldspring.xml), then re-execute the event that broadcasts the generic message, ensuring that "&init=true" is appended to the url. This will regenerate the object with the proper case and everything will be in sync again. |

The Event definition was malformed in the modelglue.xml file (or included xml file). Here is the offending event: <event-handler name=""inspector.saveprefs"" access=""public""> <broadcasts>
<message name=""ModelGlue.genericCommit""> <argument name=""recordName"" value=""ClientRecord"" /> <argument name=""criteria"" value=""ClientID"" /> <argument name=""object"" value=""Client"" /> <argument name=""validationName"" value=""PreferenceValidation"" /> </message> <results> <result name=""commit"" do=""Inspector.ClientDetails"" redirect=""true"" append="""" preserveState=""false"" /> <result name=""validationError"" do=""Inspector.ClientDetails"" redirect=""false"" append="""" preserveState=""true"" /> </results> <views /> </broadcasts> </event-handler> |
Ensure that the event definition is well formed. Even though from an XML standpoint it may be valid, it must also be valid from a Modelglue standpoint as well. |

Occurs during attempted insert/update/commit, when the value of submitted form field contains more characters than the table field allows. This entry present because it CAN occur even when invoking Reactor's auto-validation. The reason this error could be seen WITH validation in place is due to the finicky nature of Reactor and how and when it regenerates its base objects. If the base object was not regenerated after the table had been modified, then no validation exists for any new fields that were added and we get this mostly untrapped error. | Solution:

Added a relationship to Reactor.xml. Attempted to relate a User's state ID value to a record in the States table in order to be able to retrieve the state abbreviation as opposed to the state ID. <object name="hf_User" alias="User">
<hasMany name="Role"> <link name="UserRole" /> </hasMany> <hasMany name="Report"> <relate from="UserID" to="InspectorID" /> </hasMany> <hasMany name="Client" > <relate from="UserID" to="UserID" /> </hasMany> <hasMany name="Realtor"> <relate from=""UserID"" to="UserID" /> </hasMany> <hasOne name="membership"> <relate from="membershipID" to="membershipID" /> </hasOne> <hasOne name="State"> <relate from="state" to="stateID" /> </hasOne> </object> |
SOLUTION: Use the attribute "alias" within the hasOne or hasMany tag to alias the method that will be generated. Like so: <hasOne name="State" alias="ST">
<relate from="state" to="stateID" /> </hasOne> |

Mal-formed modelglue.xml (or included configuration xml file). | If you've looked it over carefully and your tags are all balanced, you might try also verifying that you're using the same CASE for all tag names. XML is case sensitive, so "value" is not the same as "Value". It is recommended that you not make TOO many changes to your modelglue configuration file before testing it, otherwise tracking down the offending line may be a very frustrating and time consuming task. |

This error was thrown by Reactor when it attempted to XMLParse a dictionary file for a given table. What has probably happened is you are using SVN in your development cycle, and when you performed an update to the destination code, SVN did a kind of "merge" on one of your dictionary files and flubbed it all up for you, thinking it was helping. Because the merged file is now not valid XML, Reactor barfed on it. | Replace the target/faulty dictionary file with what's in the repository rather than attempt to merge it. |

Wasn't quite sure what to make of this post...in the end, I think it's a heck of a good resource. These are actually exceptions I run into pretty frequently...the part that got me is that only one of them is actually an exception from within Model-Glue: where it tells you your XML didn't have a required attribute....and I agree with JAlpino that it might be nice to show you the offending line of XML. Using the DTD, which is part of the distro, will save you from this.
@Sam - Nice blanket statement with zero logic.
