I've added a wiki page on exception handling.
It contains general guidelines, some detailed solutions and Corona exception
hierarchy.
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Corona_Exceptions
Points marked as "???" are proposals
that need to be accepted or rejected.
The last point "Remote
invocations" is still under development.

Exceptions in Corona.
A good rule
of thumb is that each remote method on a logically defined tier should declare
that it throws just one exception (in addition to RemoteException): a nesting
exception that nests any of the exceptions that could be thrown within that
method's implementation. To reiterate a thought expressed earlier, this
methodology plays perfectly into interface-driven architecture: the
implementation-specific exceptions are abstracted into a singly defined
exception for some interface method.
I think this is the kind of stuff we need right now
– a set of exception handling principles to adhere to going forward.
I’d like to see us not stop everything to go revisit our exception
handling at this point – I’d prefer to focus on functionality.
Perhaps we can do a wholesale exception cleanup at the start of one of our
upcoming milestones.
Pawel, this is your area of expertise. Could you
provide us with a set of recommendations? Then we can discuss as a group how to
apply these across our architecture.
Thanks,
Joel
