Exception Handling Strategy in EJB enviroment

Hi,
Im hoping someone has a good solution for this problem...
I have an EJB that uses some utility classes. We always throw exceptions from the utility classes and handle them in the session bean by logging the exception.
Now my problem is that there is a particular utility class that extends a class in a 3rdParty package & so the exception thrown by a method in this class is set to be "SQLException".
But the subclass that I have written can generate SAXException in addition to the SQLException.
I can think of two ways to deal with this:
(a) I can Log the exception here and swallow it. The problem here is how do I rollback the transaction? I dont want my utility classes to have transaction code anyway...
(b) create a new SQLException to wrap the SAXException and rethrow it and handle in the sessionbean like I do for all my other methods. This will work but its kind of weird to wrap a SAXException in a SQLException.
Any comments on the which would be a better option?
Thanks!

I think a better way to do this would be having your own custom exception(s), with proper message (or codes) corresponding to every type of exception you expect your transactions to generate. You would only need to worry about your own exception(s).

  • Exception handling strategy

    hi,
    i want to implement a very simple but effective exception handling strategy to aim -
    1. log enough info for trouble shooting.
    2. show single error page with message - something went wrong, try after some time.
    this is how i am doing it:
    for every try-catch block in my application, i am logging current exception & throwing a custom exception -
    try {
    // code
    } catch(IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    throw new MyException();
    in in my custom phase listener (implements PagePhaseListener), in beforePhase() method, i'll be catching MyException and redirecting user to error page.
    try {
    // code
    } catch(MyException e) {
    //redirect user to error page
    please let me know what you guys think on this?
    my exception class (does nothing as such) -
    public class MyException extends Exception {
        public MyException(Throwable throwable) {
            super(throwable);
        public MyException(String string, Throwable throwable) {
            super(string, throwable);
        public MyException(String string) {
            super(string);
        public MyException() {
            super();
    thanks.

  • Exception handling bug in EJB-s

    Hi,
    My collegue had problems with exceptions in iPlanet EJB-s.
    Exceptions that were inherited from the class that is declared to be
    thrown by a particular method made EJB-s to be destroyed due to an
    unhadled exception. (Eg. NoSuchObjectException is found to be unhandled
    even if FinderException is declared to be thrown.)
    This is a serious malfunction of the container and against the basic
    concept of EJB and also the Java itself.
    The root cause that were found is highlighted in the code example, where
    direct equality is used for testing class instead of the instanceof
    operator. This code has been found in ejb_skel_CLASSNAME.java and has
    been generatd by ejbc iAS6 SP3.

  • Exception handling when invoke ejb

    Hi,
    I call ejb like this:
    try {
          MyBeanHome beanHome = .. //jndi lookup 
          MyBean bean = beanHome .create();
          HashMap h = bean.chargeFee(data);
          bean.remove();
    } catch (
    }there are a lot exceptions: NamingException, CreationException, RemoteException, RemoveException (I don't have application exception).
    I am thinking I catch the RemoveException first, since it happened after the chargeFee is called, and chargeFee is already been executed, so I deal it differently with the other Exceptions, since they heppend before or during the chargeFee executed, I treat it as not been executed.
    Is it the right way to handle the exceptions? Thanks

    It's difficult to answer you question because the intent is not known.
    I would suggest to write down all possible exceptions and the actions to be taken. Try to pass on as many exceptions as possible to the client. I know I might be getting a lot for flake for this statement but catching too many exception makes the code look complicated. If you don't know what to do with an exception then just don't catch it.
    If Pet Store example is complicated for you then try looking at Avitek Medical records example that comes bundled with BEA weblogic 8.1. You can install it for free and the example is just great.

  • Calling EJBs from Global Exception Handler

    Hi, I'm using Weblogic Workshop 8.1.4.
    I have a JPF which calls a EJB to set a lock flag (to prevent the JPF being executed twice at the same time.)
    I want to reset the lock flag in the global exception handler, however, if I call an EJB (Entity or Session) in a perform node in the exception handler, I get a NullPointerException.
    Is this because it's being called in the exception handler? Is there any way to work around this (without building a POJO which does all the persistance logic and SQL calling manually?)
    Thanks.

    You can redirect stdout to wherever you want by using
    System.setOut(PrintStream out). Also, you can give
    printStackTrace a PrintStream.
    hth,
    mI think to solve this problem you should call System.setErr(PrintStream err);

    Hi,
    Pretty much. However, you got the event part wrong, which is mostly my fault here. First, let put down some general JSF facts about event handling.
    1. http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/faces/component/UIComponent.html#queueEvent(javax.faces.event.FacesEvent)
    2. So, basically, queuing an event on a component means queuing it on its parent until you reach the UIViewRoot that will really actually queue it. That strategy allows iterating components to intercept event queued on their children to record the row index as well so that the data model can be synchronized correctly during the broadcast phase (see http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/faces/component/UIData.html#queueEvent(javax.faces.event.FacesEvent) and http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/faces/component/UIData.html#broadcast(javax.faces.event.FacesEvent))
    3. Exceptions that aren't handled by the exception handler are thrown during broadcast or various process* methods.
    So, the catch component must leverage these facts to intercept events queued on its children (by overriding queueEvent method) wrapping the original event in a custom on that flag the catch component itself as the source of the event. The result will be that the broadcast method of the catch component will be called to handle the event. The broadcast method must then unwrap the event (to get the original event), gets the original source, then call originalSource.broadcast(originalEvent) within a try-catch block.
    Does it make any more sense put that way? Note that it's an obscure part of JSF so I cannot make it incredibly simple either.

    ~ Simon

  • Generalised Event Exception Handler

    Hi all experts,
    Can anybody plz tell how to create a generalised Exception Handler , so that wenever a exception is generated in the main method the Exception Event Handler shud be initialised to catch the exception for all the exceptions generated at runtime.
    I want the Exception Event Handler to catch the exceptions for RFC BAPI,EJB Webservice,etc..as i am using this in my application to give general message at runtime if any exceptions is generated from the try-catch block.
    Waiting for the reply.
    Regards:
    SK

    Hi SK,
    There is a general Exception that you can use for all exceptions thrown.
    just add this code for any exception you want to catch.
    try
        // try anything
    catch(Exception e)
       // catch any exception
    Regards,
    Marshall.

  • Petstore: Exception handling

    Finally got a chance to go thru Petstore but got stuck on the exception handling.
    HTMLOrderAction creates an instance of MissingFormDataException and stores it in the session when form data is missing. My questions:
    Where is it thrown?(if ever)
    Where is it caught?(if ever)
    I turned off the clientside validation and got:
    javax.servlet.ServletException: MainServlet: unknown exception: javax.ejb.EJBException
         at com.sun.j2ee.blueprints.waf.controller.web.MainServlet.doProcess(MainServlet.java:125)
         at com.sun.j2ee.blueprints.waf.controller.web.MainServlet.doPost(MainServlet.java:104)....
    Shouldn't the exception be handled before it makes it to the EJB tier?
    Thanks.

    I turned off the clientside validation and got:
    javax.servlet.ServletException: MainServlet:
    unknown exception: javax.ejb.EJBException
    SNIP
    Shouldn't the exception be handled before it makes it
    to the EJB tier?Generally, all validations should be made before the EJB tier, but this is always not possible. There are specific cases when validations cannot be done without hitting the EJB tier.
    This however seems to be a design issue. If the application design depends on the front-end validation, these would not be handled till the EJB tier. For a fool-proof design, there might be multiple layers of validations but they have their own issues.
    These are just considerations I give while designing! Nothing in the strictest sense.

  • Exception handling in Web Services

    Hi all,
    I am exposing ejb2-based webservices and am unable to find a way to throw checked Exceptions.
    Could anyone provide resources about how to leverage SOAP/WSDL features of exception handling (i.e. wsdl:fault tag)?
    Thanks, regards
    Vincenzo

    Hi, thanks for replying
    actually on saphelp I found that supported Exceptions are:
    java.lang.Exception -> no fault generated
    java.rmi.RemoteException -> deploy refused with explicit error (RemoteException not allowed in ejb business method signature)
    java.lang.Throwable -> doesn't seem very appropriate to use such a root class
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks, regards

    Hey Chris,
    I got the point for exception handling in weblogic 9.2. We ae using 9.2. It comes up with the concept of shared page flows which means all my unhandled exceptions are thrown to the shared page flow controller. There based on the type of exception, i can forward the request to appropraite page.

  • PL/SQL 101 : Exception Handling

    Frequently I see questions and issues around the use of Exception/Error Handling in PL/SQL.  More often than not the issue comes from the questioners misunderstanding about how PL/SQL is constructed and executed, so I thought I'd write a small article covering the key concepts to give a clear picture of how it all hangs together. (Note: the examples are just showing examples of the exception handling structure, and should not be taken as truly valid code for ways of handling things)
    Exception Handling
    Contents
    1. Understanding Execution Blocks (part 1)
    2. Execution of the Execution Block
    3. Exceptions
    4. Understanding Execution Blocks (part 2)
    5. How to continue exection of statements after an exception
    6. User defined exceptions
    7. Line number of exception
    8. Exceptions within code within the exception block
    1. Understanding Execution Blocks (part 1)
    The first thing that one needs to understand is almost taking us back to the basics of PL/SQL... how a PL/SQL execution block is constructed.
    Essentially an execution block is made of 3 sections...
    +---------------------------+
    |    Declaration Section    |
    +---------------------------+
    |    Statements  Section    |
    +---------------------------+
    |     Exception Section     |
    +---------------------------+
    The Declaration section is the part defined between the PROCEDURE/FUNCTION header or the DECLARE keyword (for anonymous blocks) and the BEGIN keyword.  (Optional section)
    The Statements section is where your code goes and lies between the BEGIN keyword and the EXCEPTION keyword (or END keyword if there is no EXCEPTION section).  (Mandatory section)
    The Exception section is where any exception handling goes and lies between the EXCEPTION keyword at the END keyword. (Optional section)
    Example of an anonymous block...
    DECLARE
      .. declarative statements go here ..
    BEGIN
      .. code statements go here ..
    EXCEPTION
      .. exception handlers go here ..
    END;
    Example of a procedure/function block...
    [CREATE OR REPLACE] (PROCEDURE|FUNCTION) <proc or fn name> [(<parameters>)] [RETURN <datatype>] (IS|AS)
      .. declarative statements go here ..
    BEGIN
      .. code statements go here ..
    EXCEPTION
      .. exception handlers go here ..
    END;
    (Note: The same can also be done for packages, but let's keep it simple)
    2. Execution of the Execution Block
    This may seem a simple concept, but it's surprising how many people have issues showing they haven't grasped it.  When an Execution block is entered, the declaration section is processed, creating a scope of variables, types , cursors, etc. to be visible to the execution block and then execution enters into the Statements section.  Each statment in the statements section is executed in turn and when the execution completes the last statment the execution block is exited back to whatever called it.
    3. Exceptions
    Exceptions generally happen during the execution of statements in the Statements section.  When an exception happens the execution of statements jumps immediately into the exception section.  In this section we can specify what exceptions we wish to 'capture' or 'trap' and do one of the two following things...
    (Note: The exception section still has access to all the declared items in the declaration section)
    3.i) Handle the exception
    We do this when we recognise what the exception is (most likely it's something we expect to happen) and we have a means of dealing with it so that our application can continue on.
    Example...
    (without the exception handler the exception is passed back to the calling code, in this case SQL*Plus)
    SQL> ed
    Wrote file afiedt.buf
      1  declare
      2    v_name VARCHAR2(20);
      3  begin
      4    select ename
      5    into   v_name
      6    from   emp
      7    where  empno = &empno;
      8    dbms_output.put_line(v_name);
      9* end;
    SQL> /
    Enter value for empno: 123
    old   7:   where  empno = &empno;
    new   7:   where  empno = 123;
    declare
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01403: no data found
    ORA-06512: at line 4
    (with an exception handler, we capture the exception, handle it how we want to, and the calling code is happy that there is no error for it to report)
    SQL> ed
    Wrote file afiedt.buf
      1  declare
      2    v_name VARCHAR2(20);
      3  begin
      4    select ename
      5    into   v_name
      6    from   emp
      7    where  empno = &empno;
      8    dbms_output.put_line(v_name);
      9  exception
    10    when no_data_found then
    11      dbms_output.put_line('There is no employee with this employee number.');
    12* end;
    SQL> /
    Enter value for empno: 123

    3.ii) Raise the exception
    We do this when:-
    a) we recognise the exception, handle it but still want to let the calling code know that it happened
    b) we recognise the exception, wish to log it happened and then let the calling code deal with it
    c) we don't recognise the exception and we want the calling code to deal with it
    Example of b)

    4. Understanding Execution Blocks (part 2)
    Ok, so now we understand the very basics of an execution block and what happens when an exception happens.  Let's take it a step further...
    Execution blocks are not just a single simple block in most cases.  Often, during our statements section we have a need to call some reusable code and we do that by calling a procedure or function.  Effectively this nests the procedure or function's code as another execution block within the current statement section so, in terms of execution, we end up with something like...
    +---------------------------------+
    |    Declaration Section          |
    +---------------------------------+
    |    Statements  Section          |
    |            .                    |
    |  +---------------------------+  |
    |  |    Declaration Section    |  |
    |  +---------------------------+  |
    |  |    Statements  Section    |  |
    |  +---------------------------+  |
    |  |     Exception Section     |  |
    |  +---------------------------+  |
    |            .                    |
    +---------------------------------+
    |     Exception Section           |
    +---------------------------------+

    Likewise, execution blocks can be nested deeper and deeper.
    5. How to continue exection of statements after an exception
    One of the common questions asked is how to return execution to the statement after the one that created the exception and continue on.
    Well, firstly, you can only do this for statements you expect to raise an exception, such as when you want to check if there is no data found in a query.
    If you consider what's been shown above you could put any statement you expect to cause an exception inside it's own procedure or function with it's own exception section to handle the exception without raising it back to the calling code.  However, the nature of procedures and functions is really to provide a means of re-using code, so if it's a statement you only use once it seems a little silly to go creating individual procedures for these.
    Instead, you nest execution blocks directly, to give the same result as shown in the diagram at the start of part 4 of this article.

    You can see from this that, very simply, the code that we expected may have an exception was able to either handle the exception and return to the outer execution block to continue execution, or if an unexpected exception occurred then it was able to be raised up to the outer exception section.
    6. User defined exceptions
    There are three sorts of 'User Defined' exceptions.  There are logical situations (e.g. business logic) where, for example, certain criteria are not met to complete a task, and there are existing Oracle errors that you wish to give a name to in order to capture them in the exception section.  The third is raising your own exception messages with our own exception numbers.  Let's look at the first one...
    Let's say I have tables which detail stock availablility and reorder levels...
    SQL> select * from reorder_level;
       ITEM_ID STOCK_LEVEL
             1          20
             2          20
             3          10

    SQL> select * from stock;

    Now, our Business has told the administrative clerk to check stock levels and re-order anything that is below the re-order level, but not to hold stock of more than 4 times the re-order level for any particular item.  As an IT department we've been asked to put together an application that will automatically produce the re-order documents upon the clerks request and, because our company is so tight-ar*ed about money, they don't want to waste any paper with incorrect printouts so we have to ensure the clerk can't order things they shouldn't.

    That's better.  And now we don't have to use all those nested IF statements and worry about it accidently getting to code that will print the order out as, once one of our user defined exceptions is raised, execution goes from the Statements section into the Exception section and all handling of errors is done in one place.
    Now for the second sort of user defined exception...
    A new requirement has come in from the Finance department who want to have details shown on the order that show a re-order 'indicator' based on the formula ((maximum allowed stock - current stock)/re-order quantity), so this needs calculating and passing to the report...

    Hmm, there's a problem if the person specifies a re-order quantity of zero.  It raises an unhandled exception.
    Well, we could put a condition/check into our code to make sure the parameter is not zero, but again we would be wrapping our code in an IF statement and not dealing with the exception in the exception handler.
    We could do as we did before and just include a simple IF statement to check the value and raise our own user defined exception but, in this instance the error is standard Oracle error (ORA-01476) so we should be able to capture it inside the exception handler anyway... however...
    EXCEPTION
      WHEN ORA-01476 THEN
    ... is not valid.  What we need is to give this Oracle error a name.
    This is done by declaring a user defined exception as we did before and then associating that name with the error number using the PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT statement in the declaration section.

    its nice article, have put up this one the blog
    site,Nah, I don't have time to blog, but if one of the other Ace's/Experts wants to copy it to a blog with reference back to here (and all due credit given ;)) then that's fine by me.
    I'd go for a book like "Selected articles by OTN members" or something. Does anybody have a list of links of all those mentioned articles?Just these ones I've bookmarked...

  • Delete Statement Exception Handling

    Hi guys,
    I have a problem in my procedure. There are 3 parameters that I am passing into the procedure. I am matching these parameters to those in the table to delete one record at a time.
    For example if I would like to delete the record with the values ('900682',3,'29-JUL-2008') as parameters, it deletes the record from the table but then again when I execute it with the same parameters it should show me an error message but it again says 'Deleted the Transcript Request.....' Can you please help me with this?
    PROCEDURE p_delete_szptpsr_1 (p_shttran_id IN saturn.shttran.shttran_id%TYPE,
    p_shttran_seq_no IN saturn.shttran.shttran_seq_no%TYPE,
    p_shttran_request_date IN saturn.shttran.shttran_request_date%TYPE) IS
    BEGIN
    DELETE FROM saturn.shttran
    WHERE shttran.shttran_id = p_shttran_id
    and shttran.shttran_seq_no = p_shttran_seq_no
    and trunc(shttran_request_date) = trunc(p_shttran_request_date);
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Deleted the Transcript Request Seq No (' || p_shttran_seq_no || ') of the Student (' || p_shttran_id ||') for the requested date of (' || p_shttran_request_date ||')');
    COMMIT;
    EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Error: The supplied Notre Dame Student ID = (' || p_shttran_id ||
    '), Transcript Request No = (' || p_shttran_seq_no || '), Request Date = (' || p_shttran_request_date || ') was not found.');
    END p_delete_szptpsr_1;
    Should I have a SELECT statement to use NO_DATA_FOUND ???

    A DELETE statement that deletes no rows (just like an UPDATE statement that updates no rows) is not an error to Oracle. Oracle won't throw any exception.
    If you want your code to throw an exception, you'll need to write that logic. You could throw a NO_DATA_FOUND exception yourself, i.e.
    IF( SQL%ROWCOUNT = 0 )
    THEN
      RAISE no_data_found;
    END IF;If you are just going to catch the exception, though, you could just embed whatever code you would use to handle the exception in your IF statement, i.e.
    IF( SQL%ROWCOUNT = 0 )
    THEN
      <<do something about the exception>>
    END IF;In your original code, your exception handler is just a DBMS_OUTPUT statement. That is incredibly dangerous in real production code. You are relying on the fact that the client has enabled output, that the client has allocated a large enough buffer, that the user is going to see the message, and that the procedure will never be called from any piece of code that would ever care if it succeeded or failed. There are vanishingly few situations where those are safe things to rely on.

  • Exception handling is not working in GCC compile shared object

    Hello,
    I am facing very strange issue on Solaris x86_64 platform with C++ code compiled usging gcc.3.4.3.
    I have compiled shared object that load into web server process space while initialization. Whenever any exception generate in code base, it is not being caught by exception handler. Even though exception handlers are there. Same code is working fine since long time but on Solaris x86, Sparc arch, Linux platform
    With Dbx, I am getting following stack trace.
    Stack trace is
    dbx: internal error: reference through NULL pointer at line 973 in file symbol.cc
    [1] 0x11335(0x1, 0x1, 0x474e5543432b2b00, 0x59cb60, 0xfffffd7fffdff2b0, 0x11335), at 0x11335

    I am using following link options.
    Compile option is
    /usr/sfw/bin/g++ -c -I/scratch/ashishas/view_storage/build/coreid1014/palantir/apache22/solaris-x86_64/include -m64 -fPIC -D_REENTRANT -Wall -g -o apache.o apache.cpp
    Link option is
    /usr/sfw/bin/g++ -shared -m64 -o apache.so apache.o -lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lpthread -lthread
    At line 86, we are just throwing simple exception which have catch handlers in place. Also we do have catch(...) handler as well.
    Surpursing things are..same issue didn't observe if we make it as executable.
    Issue only comes if this is shared object loaded on webserver. If this is plain shared object, opened by anyother exe, it works fine.
    Can someone help me out. This is completly blocking issue for us. Using Solaris Sun Studio compiler is no option as of now.

    shared object that load into web server process space
    ... same issue didn't observe if we make it as executable.When you "inject" your shared object into some other process a well-being of your exception handling depends on that other process.
    Mechanics of x64 stack traversing (unwind) performed when you throw the exception is quite complicated,
    particularly involving a "nearly-standartized" Unwind interface (say, Unwind_RaiseException).
    When we are talking about g++ on Solaris there are two implementations of unwind interface, one in libc and one in libgcc_s.so.
    When you g++-compile the executable you get it directly linked with libgcc_s.so and Unwind stuff resolves into libgccs.
    When g++-compiled shared object is loaded into non-g++-compiled executable's process _Unwind calls are most likely already resolved into Solaris libc.
    Thats why you might see the difference.
    Now, what exactly causes this difference can vary, I can only speculate.
    All that would not be a problem if _Unwind interface was completely standartized and properly implemented.
    However there are two issues currently:
    * gcc (libstdc++ in particular) happens to use additional non-standard _Unwind calls which are not present in Solaris libc
    naturally, implementation details of Unwind implementation in libc differs to that of libgccs, so when all the standard _Unwind
    routines are resolved into Solaris version and one non-standard _Unwind routine is resolved into gcc version you get a problem
    (most likely that is what happens with you)
    * libc Unwind sometimes is unable to decipher the code generated by gcc.
    However that is likely to happen with modern gcc (say, 4.4+) and not that likely with 3.4.3
    Btw, you can check your call frame to see where _Unwind calls come from:
    where -h -lIf you indeed stomped on "mixed _Unwind" problem then the only chance for you is to play with linker
    so it binds Unwind stuff from your library directly into libgccs.
    Not tried it myself though.

    __Fedor.

  • Exception handling to catch the outcome of a select

    Hello,
    I want to use exception handling to exit me out of a function module.  I want to have one exception for all errors.
    For example, if this select statement does not work, how do I finish up this code to make it work.
    error type cx_bsx
    try
    select * from t001 where BUKRS = '!@#$'
    catch <not sure what> into INTO error
    raise exception error
    endtry.
    When I use cx_bsx with the catch, nothing happens even though the select statement fails. Basically I want the catch to work in the same manner as this:
    if sy-subrc ne 0.
    raise error_table_read.
    endif.

    If this code is in a function module, then why not just use the function  module exceptions.
    if sy-subrc ne 0.
    raise error_table_read.
    endif.
    What are you gaining by "catching" this exception in the function module.  By using the "exceptions" part of the function module, you are passing this exception back to the calling program.
    Regards,
    Rich Heilman
