The Secret World of Exception Handling Frameworks
|
|
Heinz Kabutz of the Java Specialist's newletter and fellow blogger at Artima has a piece on GUI exception handling. He writes at the end of his piece:
"This solution is far from perfect. In my industrial-strength exception framework (not available for general use, don't ask), the uncaught exceptions go to a central place from where they are dispatched to the correct listeners. Those might be more fancy dialogs, or emails sent to the support team, or a stacktrace in a log file.
Oh, this is just great! Yet another guy with an exception framework that's not available for public viewing! Oh, by the way, speaking about Ron Bodkin, his exception framework was available at java.net under the atrack project. Unfortunately for some mysterious reason the source on CVS has been deleted.
Is it just me, or is there some secret development happening at the exception handling area that we aren't privy to?
That reminds me, I should also mention my own industrial-strength AOP-ish exception handling framework. Just like Heinz it's not available yet (don't ask), however it'll show up at www.jexception.com when it's ready.
