FailureDefinition

Description:
Defines persistent information about a failure.

Remarks:
Each failure that can be potentially posted in Revit must be based on a FailureDefinition object that contains some persistent information about failure such as identity, severity, basic description text, types of resolution and default resolution. Each FailureMessage, which contains variable part of the information for a specific failure when it occurs, is created with a reference to a registered FailureDefinition. In order to be able to post a failure, one must define and register it via FailureDefinition object during Revit Application startup.
