Exception Handling, Testing and Debugging

Complete guide to Java platform exceptions and exception handling

Proven strategies for architects, designers, and developers

Key design patterns for exception management

Stephen Stelting

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.
