在Java(或任何其他带有受控异常的语言)中,当创建您自己的异常类时,您如何决定它应该被检查还是未检查?

我的直觉是,在调用者可能能够以某种有效的方式恢复的情况下,将调用checked异常,而作为未检查的异常则更多地用于不可恢复的情况,但我对其他人的想法感兴趣。

受控异常非常好,只要你知道什么时候应该使用它们。对于SQLException(有时对于IOException), Java核心API无法遵循这些规则,这就是它们如此糟糕的原因。

受控异常应该用于可预测的、但无法预防的、可以合理恢复的错误。

未检查异常应该用于其他所有事情。

我来解释一下,因为大多数人都误解了这句话的意思。

Predictable but unpreventable: The caller did everything within their power to validate the input parameters, but some condition outside their control has caused the operation to fail. For example, you try reading a file but someone deletes it between the time you check if it exists and the time the read operation begins. By declaring a checked exception, you are telling the caller to anticipate this failure. Reasonable to recover from: There is no point telling callers to anticipate exceptions that they cannot recover from. If a user attempts to read from an non-existing file, the caller can prompt them for a new filename. On the other hand, if the method fails due to a programming bug (invalid method arguments or buggy method implementation) there is nothing the application can do to fix the problem in mid-execution. The best it can do is log the problem and wait for the developer to fix it at a later time.

除非您抛出的异常满足上述所有条件,否则它应该使用未检查异常。

Reevaluate at every level: Sometimes the method catching the checked exception isn't the right place to handle the error. In that case, consider what is reasonable for your own callers. If the exception is predictable, unpreventable and reasonable for them to recover from then you should throw a checked exception yourself. If not, you should wrap the exception in an unchecked exception. If you follow this rule you will find yourself converting checked exceptions to unchecked exceptions and vice versa depending on what layer you are in.

对于已检查和未检查的异常,使用正确的抽象级别。例如,具有两种不同实现(数据库和文件系统)的代码存储库应该通过抛出SQLException或IOException来避免暴露特定于实现的细节。相反,它应该将异常包装在一个跨越所有实现的抽象中(例如RepositoryException)。

我使用的规则是:永远不要使用未经检查的异常!(或者当你看不到任何方法的时候)

从使用您的库的开发人员或使用您的库/应用程序的最终用户的角度来看,遇到由于不应出现的异常而导致应用程序崩溃的情况真的很糟糕。指望包罗万象也不行。

通过这种方式,最终用户仍然可以看到错误消息,而不是应用程序完全消失。

当你想要向调用者提供信息时,受控异常对于可恢复的情况很有用(例如,权限不足,文件未找到等)。

未检查异常很少用于在运行时通知用户或程序员严重错误或意外情况。如果你编写的代码或库将被其他人使用,不要抛出这些异常,因为他们可能不希望你的软件抛出未经检查的异常,因为编译器不会强制捕获或声明这些异常。

我认为当声明应用程序异常时,它应该是未检查的异常,即RuntimeException的子类。 原因是它不会用try-catch和方法上的抛出声明使应用程序代码混乱。如果你的应用程序使用Java Api,抛出检查异常,无论如何都需要处理。对于其他情况,应用程序可以抛出未经检查的异常。如果应用程序调用方仍然需要处理未检查的异常,则可以这样做。

You can call it a checked or unchecked exception; however, both types of exception can be caught by the programmer, so the best answer is: write all of your exceptions as unchecked and document them. That way the developer who uses your API can choose whether he or she wants to catch that exception and do something. Checked exceptions are a complete waste of everyone's time and it makes your code a shocking nightmare to look at. Proper unit testing will then bring up any exceptions that you may have to catch and do something with.
