• Message: A human-readable description of the error.
• Error Code: A short string that identifies the type of error.
• Request ID: A unique ID for the API request that can be valuable in AWS support interactions.

Example: Catching and Handling the Exception

Below is a simple example in Java to demonstrate how to catch and handle the AWSMigrationHubRefactorSpacesException. This code snippet assumes that you have AWS SDK dependencies correctly set up in your Java project.

import com.amazonaws.services.migrationhubrefactorspaces.AWSMigrationHubRefactorSpaces;
import com.amazonaws.services.migrationhubrefactorspaces.AWSMigrationHubRefactorSpacesClientBuilder;
import com.amazonaws.services.migrationhubrefactorspaces.model.AWSMigrationHubRefactorSpacesException;
import com.amazonaws.services.migrationhubrefactorspaces.model.CreateRouteRequest;
import com.amazonaws.services.migrationhubrefactorspaces.model.CreateRouteResult;

public class MigrationHubExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AWSMigrationHubRefactorSpaces migrationHub = AWSMigrationHubRefactorSpacesClientBuilder.defaultClient();

        try {
            CreateRouteRequest createRouteRequest = new CreateRouteRequest()
                    .withRouteName("exampleRoute")
                    .withEnvironmentId("env-123456")
                    .withServiceId("service-123456");

            CreateRouteResult result = migrationHub.createRoute(createRouteRequest);
            System.out.println("Route created successfully: " + result);
        } catch (AWSMigrationHubRefactorSpacesException e) {
            System.err.println("Error occurred: " + e.getMessage());
            System.err.println("Error Code: " + e.getErrorCode());
            System.err.println("Request ID: " + e.getRequestId());
        }
    }
}

Common Causes of AWSMigrationHubRefactorSpacesException

Understanding the common causes of this exception can help prevent pitfalls during development:

1. Invalid Parameters: This occurs when required parameters are missing or have invalid values.
2. Resource Not Found: The specified environment or service may not exist.
3. Insufficient Permissions: The IAM role or user does not have sufficient permissions to perform the requested operation.
4. Service Limit Exceeded: You may have exceeded the maximum number of environments or routes allowed in your AWS account.

Best Practices for Handling the Exception

To handle AWSMigrationHubRefactorSpacesException effectively, consider following these best practices:

• Validate Parameters: Always validate your parameters before making API calls to reduce invalid parameter errors.
• Check Resource Existence: Ensure that the resources you are referencing exist to avoid resource not found exceptions.
• Implement Retries: Implement a retry strategy, particularly for transient issues, to improve error resilience.
• Log Errors: Use logging to capture error details, which will be invaluable for debugging and troubleshooting.

Leveraging AWS SDK for Java with Migration Hub Refactor Spaces
