How to Specify and Handle Exceptions in Java

Errors happen all the time in the software world. It might be an invalid user input or an external system that is not responding, or it’s a simple programming error. In all these situations, the errors occur at runtime and the application needs to handle them. Otherwise, it crashes and can’t process further requests. Java provides a powerful mechanism which allows you to handle the exceptional event where it occurred or in one of the higher methods in the call stack.

What is an Unhandled Exception and How to Find Them

An exception is a known type of error. An unhandled exception occurs when the application code does not properly handle exceptions. For example, When you try to open a file on disk, it is a common problem for the file to not exist. The.NET Framework will then throw a FileNotFoundException.

BPM Project Management: Get Value Delivered Faster

Project management across multiple teams, especially under the triple-constraints of time, cost, and scope, is an intensive task.
