的确，受控异常一方面增加了程序的健壮性和正确性(你被迫对接口做出正确的声明——方法抛出的异常基本上是一种特殊的返回类型)。另一方面，你面临的问题是，由于异常“冒出来”，当你改变一个方法抛出的异常时，你经常需要改变大量的方法(所有的调用者，以及调用者的调用者，等等)。

Java中的受控异常不能解决后一个问题;c#和VB。我们把孩子和洗澡水一起倒掉。

OOPSLA 2005论文(或相关技术报告)中描述了一种折衷的好方法。

简而言之，它允许你说:方法g(x)像f(x)一样抛出，这意味着g抛出f抛出的所有异常。瞧，没有级联更改问题的受控异常。

虽然这是一篇学术论文，但我还是鼓励你阅读(部分)它，因为它很好地解释了受控异常的优点和缺点。

良好的证明Checked Exception是不需要的:

A lot of framework that does some work for Java. Like Spring that wraps JDBC exception to unchecked exceptions, throwing messages to the log Lot of languages that came after java, even on top on java platform - they do not use them Checked exceptions, it is kind prediction about how the client would use the code that throws an exception. But a developer who writes this code would never know about the system and business that client of code is working in. As an example Interfcace methods that force to throw checked exception. There are 100 implementation over the system, 50 or even 90 of implementations do not throw this exception, but the client still must to catch this exception if he user reference to that interface. Those 50 or 90 implementations tend to handle those exceptions inside themself, putting exception to the log (and this is good behavior for them). What we should do with that? I would better have some background logic that would do all that job - sending message to the log. And If I, as a client of code, would feel I need handle the exception - I will do it. I may forget about it, right - but if I use TDD, all my steps are covered and I know what I want. Another example when I'm working with I/O in java, it forces me to check all exception, if file does not exists? what I should do with that? If it does not exists, the system would not go to the next step. The client of this method, would not get expected content from that file - he can handle Runtime Exception, otherwise I should first check Checked Exception, put a message to log, then throw exception up out form the method. No...no - I would better do it automatically with RuntimeEception, that does it / lits up automatically. There is no any sense to handle it manually - I would be happy I saw an error message in the log (AOP can help with that.. something that fixes java). If, eventually, I deice that system should shows pop-up message to the end user - I will show it, not a problem.

我很高兴java能让我选择使用什么，当使用核心库时，比如I/O。Like提供了相同类的两个副本——一个用RuntimeEception包装。然后我们可以比较人们会使用什么。但是现在，很多人会选择java或其他语言之上的框架。比如Scala, JRuby等等。许多人相信SUN是对的。

正如人们已经说过的，Java字节码中不存在受控异常。它们只是一种编译器机制，与其他语法检查没有什么不同。我看到很多受控异常，就像我看到编译器抱怨一个冗余的条件:if(true) {a;b;}。这很有帮助，但我可能是故意这么做的，所以我忽略你的警告。

事实是，如果你强制执行受控异常，你将无法强迫每个程序员“做正确的事情”，而其他人现在都是附带损害，他们只是因为你制定的规则而讨厌你。

修复坏程序!不要试图修改语言来阻止它们!对于大多数人来说，“对异常做一些事情”实际上只是告诉用户它。我也可以告诉用户一个未检查的异常，所以不要让您的已检查异常类出现在我的API中。

Robert C. Martin在他的著作《Clean Code》中也不推荐使用受控异常，他认为受控异常违反了开闭原则:

什么价格?受控异常的价格是Open/Closed Principle1侵犯。如果从方法抛出checked异常 在您的代码中，并且catch高于三级，您必须声明 实例之间的每个方法签名中的异常 抓住。这意味着在软件的低级别上的更改可以 在许多更高级别上强制更改签名。变更的模块 必须重建和重新部署，即使他们不关心 改变了。

好吧，这不是关于显示堆栈跟踪或无声崩溃。它是关于在层与层之间沟通错误的能力。

The problem with checked exceptions is they encourage people to swallow important details (namely, the exception class). If you choose not to swallow that detail, then you have to keep adding throws declarations across your whole app. This means 1) that a new exception type will affect lots of function signatures, and 2) you can miss a specific instance of the exception you actually -want- to catch (say you open a secondary file for a function that writes data to a file. The secondary file is optional, so you can ignore its errors, but because the signature throws IOException, it's easy to overlook this).

实际上，我现在在一个应用程序中处理这种情况。我们将异常重新打包为AppSpecificException。这使得签名非常干净，我们不必担心在签名中爆炸。

当然，现在我们需要在更高的级别上专门化错误处理，实现重试逻辑等等。所有的东西都是AppSpecificException，所以我们不能说“如果一个IOException被抛出，重试”或“如果ClassNotFound被抛出，完全中止”。我们没有可靠的方法来获得真正的异常，因为当它们在我们的代码和第三方代码之间传递时，东西会一次又一次地重新打包。

这就是为什么我非常喜欢python中的异常处理。你只能捕获你想要和/或能处理的东西。其他所有东西都冒出来了，就好像你自己重新扔了它一样(不管怎样你已经这么做了)。

我一次又一次地发现，在我提到的整个项目中，异常处理分为3类:

Catch and handle a specific exception. This is to implement retry logic, for example. Catch and rethrow other exceptions. All that happens here is usually logging, and its usually a trite message like "Unable to open $filename". These are errors you can't do anything about; only a higher levels knows enough to handle it. Catch everything and display an error message. This is usually at the very root of a dispatcher, and all it does it make sure it can communicate the error to the caller via a non-Exception mechanism (popup dialogue, marshaling an RPC Error object, etc).

我读了很多关于异常处理的书，即使(大多数时候)我不能真的说我对受控异常的存在感到高兴或悲伤，这是我的看法:在低级代码(IO，网络，OS等)中受控异常，在高级api /应用程序级别中未受控异常。

即使在它们之间没有那么容易划清界限，我发现在同一屋檐下集成几个api /库而不始终包装大量的检查异常是非常烦人/困难的，但另一方面，有时强制捕获一些异常并提供一个在当前上下文中更有意义的不同异常是有用/更好的。

The project I'm working on takes lots of libraries and integrates them under the same API, API which is completely based on unchecked exceptions.This frameworks provides a high-level API which in the beginning was full of checked exceptions and had only several unchecked exceptions(Initialization Exception, ConfigurationException, etc) and I must say was not very friendly. Most of the time you had to catch or re-throw exceptions which you don't know how to handle, or you don't even care(not to be confused with you should ignore exceptions), especially on the client side where a single click could throw 10 possible (checked) exceptions.

The current version(3rd one) uses only unchecked exceptions, and it has a global exception handler which is responsible to handle anything uncaught. The API provides a way to register exception handlers, which will decide if an exception is considered an error(most of the time this is the case) which means log & notify somebody, or it can mean something else - like this exception, AbortException, which means break the current execution thread and don't log any error 'cause it is desired not to. Of course, in order to work out all custom thread must handle the run() method with a try {...} catch(all).

公共无效运行(){

try {
     ... do something ...
} catch (Throwable throwable) {
     ApplicationContext.getExceptionService().handleException("Handle this exception", throwable);
}

}

如果您使用WorkerService来安排作业(Runnable, Callable, Worker)，这是不必要的，它会为您处理一切。

当然，这只是我的个人观点，它可能不是正确的，但对我来说这是一个很好的方法。我将在发布项目后看看我认为对我有好处的东西，对其他人也有好处……：）
