Why you should care
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The code contains too many thows to system exceptions (java.lang.Error, java.lang.RuntimeException). Application should have their own error exception classes. Throwing generic exception force callers to use generic catches. Prefer to use applicative and more specialized exceptions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”5362″ img_size=”full”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]
