  java antipatterns worstpractices exception

  • Either log the exception, or throw it, but never do both
  • Logging and throwing results in multiple log messages for a single problem in the code, and makes life hell for the support engineer who is trying to dig through the logs.
  • public void foo() throws Exception {
  • This is generally wrong and sloppy. Catch the specific exceptions that can be thrown
  • This destroys the stack trace of the original exception, and is always wrong.
  • catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {  e.printStackTrace();  return null; } // Man I hate this one
  • Instead of returning null, throw the exception, and let the caller deal with it. You should only return null in a normal (non-exceptional) use case (e.g., "This method returns null if the search string was not found.").
  • This one is insidious. Not only does it return null instead of handling or re-throwing the exception, it totally swallows the exception, losing the information forever.
  • When you're implementing an abstract base class, and you're just providing hooks for subclasses to optionally override, this is fine. However, if this is not the case, you should throw an UnsupportedOperationException instead of returning null.
  • It may work fine today, but what happens when the code that you're calling into, or the code that it relies on, changes its underlying implementation, and ends up wrapping the ultimate cause inside of another exception? Now calling getCause may return you a wrapping exception, and what you really want is the result of getCause().getCause(). Instead, you should unwrap the causes until you find the ultimate cause of the problem. Apache's commons-lang project provides ExceptionUtils.getRootCause() to do this easily.

  Should you throw an exception, or return null? Should you use checked or unchecked exceptions? For many novice to mid-level developers, exception handling tends to be an afterthought. Their typical pattern is usually a simple try/catch/printStackTrace().
