Exception Guideline

Description

1

Exceptions should not create additional package dependencies

Assume that a client class in package A accesses a class in package B. The class in package B should not throw an exception that belongs to package C (which is used by package B). This produces dependencies between package A and C.
(This rule may not apply where Package C is a standard and stable package, such as java.io.)

2

Exceptions by package.

If a package's classes throw any exceptions, the package should have its own top-level checked exception. The package should then define exception subclasses for any exceptions that may be handled differently by clients. Good models for this paradigm can be found in the Java packages java.io, java.sql and javax.naming.
Sometimes a package is clearly a "sub-package" of another package. In such a case, the sub-package's exceptions can extend the parent package's exceptions. In example of such a sub-package is java.nio.charset (whose exceptions extend java.io.IOException).

3

No blind catches of Exception

A class is responsible for knowing what exceptions it may encounter, and it must treat each exception individually. If the handling of many exceptions is identical, it could be extracted into helper methods.

4

No empty catch-blocks

At the very least, a catch-block should contain an assertion that it should never be reached or a comment stating that it is irrelevant

5

Write sensible throws clauses

Fewer (<3) the number of exceptions thrown, better it is. Always throw exceptions that make sense to the calling class, if not wrap that exception in another, which more closely captures the error type

6

Chaining Exceptions

Always chain exceptions so that the root cause of the error is available for logging it into the error/system log file. This is very useful for diagnosing errors in production environment

7

Use Message Catalogs for easy localization

Use message catalogs for message text of an exception, whose message is directly presented to the end user. This will help the application to be localized or internationalized by just adding another message catalog
