get_message();
Object.defineProperty('message');
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| string | A string that is suitable to return in an application if necessary to alert the user to an error that may require action. |
While Detail will contain the actual Exception.Message property, Message will be a generic, user-safe string. The string is always at least method-specific, and sometimes specific to the exact issue (for example, if the wrong password is passed to Decrypt, the Message property will be "Incorrect Password" instead of a more generic "The decryption failed".
This value, along with the Detail string, are used to understand the Exception from the Documents Service.
While Message is always a user-safe string, there may be times where the Exception.Message property in the Documents Service is user-safe; in this case, Message and Detail will be the same, while ExceptionType will be DocumentsService.ServiceException.
See ServiceError for more information.
