Your one-stop tutorial & reference for Java exceptions and exception handling
Sorry, you're not perfect. And neither is your code. But you can build more robust software: code that handles unexpected problems gracefully, and keeps on running. In Robust Java, Sun Java expert Stephen Stelting shows you how. Using extensive code examples, Steve covers every facet of Java exceptions and exception handling, encompassing architecture, design, development, testing, and debugging. With the help of this book, you'll:
Discover best practices for Java exception handling
Learn failure mode analysis: how to anticipate where errors are most likely to occur
Understand the use of exceptions in complex APIs and frameworks including J2EE, JDBC, RMI, JMS, and more
Master application-wide exception handling strategies
Implement exceptions in complex distributed multi-tier systems
Learn proven design patterns for handling exceptions in code
Perform more effective Java testing and debugging using open source tools
Understand key architectural decisions that will improve robustness
Robust Java covers the entire development lifecycle--and it will support you in any development role: programmer, tester, project manager, or architect. No book offers more useful, realistic guidance for building rock-solid, maintainable Java code.
