以下是我的“最终经验法则”。 我使用:

方法代码中由于调用者导致的失败而出现的未检查的异常(这涉及一个显式和完整的文档) 检查异常失败由于被调用，我需要明确的任何人想要使用我的代码

与前面的答案相比，这是使用一种或另一种(或两种)例外的明确理由(人们可以同意或不同意)。

对于这两个异常，我将为我的应用程序创建自己的未检查和已检查的异常(这里提到过，这是一个很好的实践)，除了非常常见的未检查异常(如NullPointerException)

例如，下面这个特定函数的目标是创建(如果已经存在，则获取)一个对象， 意义:

the container of the object to make/get MUST exist (responsibility of the CALLER => unchecked exception, AND clear javadoc comment for this called function) the other parameters can not be null (choice of the coder to put that on the CALLER: the coder will not check for null parameter but the coder DOES DOCUMENT IT) the result CAN NOT BE NULL (responsibility and choice of the code of the callee, choice which will be of great interest for the caller => checked exception because every callers MUST take a decision if the object can not be created/found, and that decision must be enforced at the compilation time: they can not use this function without having to deal with this possibility, meaning with this checked exception).

例子:

/**
 * Build a folder. <br />
 * Folder located under a Parent Folder (either RootFolder or an existing Folder)
 * @param aFolderName name of folder
 * @param aPVob project vob containing folder (MUST NOT BE NULL)
 * @param aParent parent folder containing folder 
 *        (MUST NOT BE NULL, MUST BE IN THE SAME PVOB than aPvob)
 * @param aComment comment for folder (MUST NOT BE NULL)
 * @return a new folder or an existing one
 * @throws CCException if any problems occurs during folder creation
 * @throws AssertionFailedException if aParent is not in the same PVob
 * @throws NullPointerException if aPVob or aParent or aComment is null
 */
static public Folder makeOrGetFolder(final String aFoldername, final Folder aParent,
    final IPVob aPVob, final Comment aComment) throws CCException {
    Folder aFolderRes = null;
    if (aPVob.equals(aParent.getPVob() == false) { 
       // UNCHECKED EXCEPTION because the caller failed to live up
       // to the documented entry criteria for this function
       Assert.isLegal(false, "parent Folder must be in the same PVob than " + aPVob); }

    final String ctcmd = "mkfolder " + aComment.getCommentOption() + 
        " -in " + getPNameFromRepoObject(aParent) + " " + aPVob.getFullName(aFolderName);

    final Status st = getCleartool().executeCmd(ctcmd);

    if (st.status || StringUtils.strictContains(st.message,"already exists.")) {
        aFolderRes = Folder.getFolder(aFolderName, aPVob);
    }
    else {
        // CHECKED EXCEPTION because the callee failed to respect his contract
        throw new CCException.Error("Unable to make/get folder '" + aFolderName + "'");
    }
    return aFolderRes;
}

这里有一个非常简单的方法来解决你的“受控/未受控”困境。

规则1:将未检查异常视为代码执行前的可测试条件。 例如……

x.doSomething(); // the code throws a NullPointerException

其中x为空… 代码应该有以下内容

if (x==null)
{
    //do something below to make sure when x.doSomething() is executed, it won’t throw a NullPointerException.
    x = new X();
}
x.doSomething();

规则2:将检查异常视为代码执行时可能出现的不可测试条件。

Socket s = new Socket(“google.com”, 80);
InputStream in = s.getInputStream();
OutputStream out = s.getOutputStream();

在上面的例子中，URL (google.com)可能由于DNS服务器宕机而不可用。即使在DNS服务器工作并将“google.com”名称解析为IP地址的瞬间，如果连接到google.com，在任何时候，网络都可能瘫痪。你不能在读写流之前一直测试网络。

有时候，在我们知道是否存在问题之前，代码必须执行。通过强迫开发人员以这种方式编写代码，迫使他们通过检查异常来处理这些情况，我不得不向发明了这个概念的Java创造者致敬。

一般来说，几乎所有的Java api都遵循上述2条规则。如果尝试写入文件，磁盘可能会在完成写入之前被填满。可能是其他进程导致磁盘已满。根本没有办法测试这种情况。对于那些随时与硬件交互的人来说，使用硬件可能会失败，受控异常似乎是解决这个问题的一个优雅的解决方案。

这是一个灰色地带。在需要许多测试的情况下(一个带有大量&&和||的令人震惊的if语句)，抛出的异常将是一个CheckedException，因为要正确处理它太痛苦了——你不能简单地说这个问题是一个编程错误。如果测试少于10个(例如' If (x == null) ')，那么程序员错误应该是UncheckedException。

与语言口译员打交道时，事情变得有趣起来。根据上面的规则，语法错误应该被认为是一个检查或未检查的异常?我认为，如果语言的语法可以在执行之前进行测试，那么它应该是UncheckedException。如果无法测试该语言——类似于程序集代码在个人计算机上的运行方式，那么语法错误应该是一个已检查异常。

The 2 rules above will probably remove 90% of your concern over which to choose from. To summarize the rules, follow this pattern… 1) if the code to be execute can be tested before it’s executed for it to run correctly and if an Exception occurs — a.k.a. a programmer error, the Exception should be an UncheckedException (a subclass of RuntimeException). 2) if the code to be executed can not be tested before it’s executed for it to run correctly, the Exception should be a Checked Exception (a subclass of Exception).

你是正确的。

未经检查的异常用于让系统快速失效，这是一件好事。为了正常工作，你应该清楚地说明你的方法期望什么。通过这种方式，您可以只验证输入一次。

例如:

/**
 * @params operation - The operation to execute.
 * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the operation is "exit"
 */
 public final void execute( String operation ) {
     if( "exit".equals(operation)){
          throw new IllegalArgumentException("I told you not to...");
     }
     this.operation = operation; 
     .....  
 }
 private void secretCode(){
      // we perform the operation.
      // at this point the opreation was validated already.
      // so we don't worry that operation is "exit"
      .....  
 }

举个例子。关键是，如果系统快速失效，那么你就会知道它在哪里以及为什么会失效。你会得到这样的堆栈跟踪:

 IllegalArgumentException: I told you not to use "exit" 
 at some.package.AClass.execute(Aclass.java:5)
 at otherPackage.Otherlass.delegateTheWork(OtherClass.java:4569)
 ar ......

你会知道发生了什么。“delegateTheWork”方法中的OtherClass(在第4569行)使用“exit”值调用你的类，即使它不应该这样做等等。

否则你将不得不在你的代码中散布验证，这很容易出错。另外，有时很难跟踪哪里出了问题，可能会有几个小时令人沮丧的调试

同样的事情也发生在nullpointerexception中。如果你有一个700行的类，有15个方法，使用30个属性，它们都不能为空，而不是在每个方法中验证可为空性，你可以使所有这些属性都是只读的，并在构造函数或工厂方法中验证它们。

 public static MyClass createInstane( Object data1, Object data2 /* etc */ ){ 
      if( data1 == null ){ throw NullPointerException( "data1 cannot be null"); }

  }


  // the rest of the methods don't validate data1 anymore.
  public void method1(){ // don't worry, nothing is null 
      ....
  }
  public void method2(){ // don't worry, nothing is null 
      ....
  }
  public void method3(){ // don't worry, nothing is null 
      ....
  }

当程序员(你或你的同事)做的每件事都是正确的，验证输入，运行测试，所有的代码都是完美的，但代码连接到第三方web服务可能会关闭(或你正在使用的文件被另一个外部进程删除等)时，检查异常是有用的。web服务甚至可以在连接尝试之前进行验证，但是在数据传输过程中出错了。

在这种情况下，你或你的同事都无能为力。但你还是得做点什么，不能让应用程序在用户眼中消失。你使用一个检查异常来处理异常，当发生这种情况时你能做什么?，大多数时候，只是尝试记录错误，可能会保存你的工作(应用程序工作)，并向用户显示消息。(网站blabla宕机，请稍后重试)

如果检查过的异常被过度使用(通过在所有方法签名中添加“throw exception”)，那么您的代码将变得非常脆弱，因为每个人都会忽略这个异常(因为太普遍)，代码质量将严重受损。

如果过度使用未检查异常，也会发生类似的情况。这段代码的用户不知道是否会出现错误，因此进行了大量的尝试{…}catch(Throwable t)将出现。

我同意将未检查异常作为规则的偏好，特别是在设计API时。调用方总是可以选择捕获记录在案的、未检查的异常。你只是没有必要强迫打电话的人。

I find checked exceptions useful at the lower-level, as implementation detail. It often seems like a better flow of control mechanism than having to manage a specified error "return code". It can sometimes help see the impact of an idea for a low level code change too... declare a checked exception downstream and see who would need to adjust. This last point doesn't apply if there are a lot of generic: catch(Exception e) or throws Exception which is usually not too well-thought out anyway.

来自Java学习者:

When an exception occurs, you have to either catch and handle the exception, or tell compiler that you can't handle it by declaring that your method throws that exception, then the code that uses your method will have to handle that exception (even it also may choose to declare that it throws the exception if it can't handle it). Compiler will check that we have done one of the two things (catch, or declare). So these are called Checked exceptions. But Errors, and Runtime Exceptions are not checked for by compiler (even though you can choose to catch, or declare, it is not required). So, these two are called Unchecked exceptions. Errors are used to represent those conditions which occur outside the application, such as crash of the system. Runtime exceptions are usually occur by fault in the application logic. You can't do anything in these situations. When runtime exception occur, you have to re-write your program code. So, these are not checked by compiler. These runtime exceptions will uncover in development, and testing period. Then we have to refactor our code to remove these errors.

以下是我在多年开发经验后的一些看法:

Checked exception. This is a part of business use case or call flow, this is a part of application logic we expect or not expect. For example connection rejected, condition is not satisfied etc. We need to handle it and show corresponding message to user with instructions what happened and what to do next (try again later etc). I usually call it post-processing exception or "user" exception. Unchecked exception. This is a part of programming exception, some mistake in software code programming (bug, defect) and reflects a way how programmers must use API as per documentation. If an external lib/framework doc says it expects to get data in some range and non null, because NPE or IllegalArgumentException will be thrown, programmer should expect it and use API correctly as per documentation. Otherwise the exception will be thrown. I usually call it pre-processing exception or "validation" exception.

目标受众。现在让我们来谈谈目标受众或设计例外的人群(根据我的观点):

检查异常。目标受众是用户/客户。 未经检查的异常。目标受众是开发人员。换句话说，未检查异常仅是为开发人员设计的。

通过应用程序开发生命周期阶段。

受控异常被设计为在整个生产生命周期中存在，作为应用程序处理异常情况的正常和预期机制。 未检查异常被设计为只存在于应用程序开发/测试生命周期期间，所有这些异常都应该在这段时间内得到修复，并且当应用程序已经在生产环境中运行时不应该抛出。

框架通常使用未检查异常(例如Spring)的原因是框架不能确定应用程序的业务逻辑，这取决于开发人员捕捉并设计自己的逻辑。
