fallback
Syntax
fallback {
/* body to execute if extension function
or element is unavailable */
}Description
Specify statements to use when an extension function
or element is not available in the current implementation. The fallback statement is enclosed within another instruction
element to indicate what fallback code should be run if the script
processor does not recognize the enclosing instruction element. The
script executes the body of the fallback statement to handle this
error condition.
A script might utilize this statement when it is run in environments that support different extension elements.
SLAX Example
The following example op script declares the namespace
binding test with a URI of "test". The
code attempts to reference the nonexistent extension element <test:fake>, which is not supported, and the code
instead executes the fallback instructions.
version 1.1;
ns junos = "http://xml.juniper.net/junos/*/junos";
ns xnm = "http://xml.juniper.net/xnm/1.1/xnm";
ns jcs = "http://xml.juniper.net/junos/commit-scripts/1.0";
ns test extension = "test";
match / {
<op-script-results> {
/* Fake extension element */
<test:fake> {
expr slax:output( "<test:fake> exists!" );
fallback {
expr slax:output( "<test:fake> does not exist." );
}
}
}
}Release Information
Statement introduced in version 1.1 of the SLAX language, which is supported in Junos OS Release 12.2 and later releases.
