Description

When you ask an SM for a resource it doesn't have, the error message is at best confusing. Fix the error message.

For example:

Ask local SM for bare metal (bare metal only available via ExoSM):

Error reported: ERROR: Exception encountered: java.lang.RuntimeException?: Missing reservation from domain http://geni-orca.renci.org/owl/f59e55dd-9abf-413a-85a4-9f8d9de5e3c4#BT.

Suggested error message:

ERROR: Exception encountered: This AM may not have the requested resource. Try the ExoSM aggregate <insert URL here>. (java.lang.RuntimeException?: Missing reservation from domain http://geni-orca.renci.org/owl/f59e55dd-9abf-413a-85a4-9f8d9de5e3c4#BT).

Another examples of different error returned for unavailable bare metal is captured in ticket #136, which is being closed as a duplicate of this ticket.

Checking the error message returned when resources are requested that are not available, such as requesting a bare metal node from the local SM.

When the ticket was originally written, the request would generate the following error response:

Error reported: ERROR: Exception encountered: java.lang.RuntimeException?: 
Missing reservation from domain http://geni-orca.renci.org/owl/f59e55dd-9abf-413a-85a4-9f8d9de5e3c4#BT. 

The current error reports less information than the original error, and does not even include the bare metal resource as part of the error.

Error from Aggregate: code 2: ERROR: Exception encountered: java.lang.NullPointerException.
