Product Description

Robust Java

Book Description

Robust Java
Exception Handling, Testing and Debugging

Complete guide to Java platform exceptions and exception handling

Proven strategies for architects, designers, and developers

Key design patterns for exception management

Stephen Stelting

Your one-stop tutorial & reference for Java exceptions and exception handling

Sorry, you're not perfect. And neither is your code. But you can build more robust software: code that handles unexpected problems gracefully, and keeps on running. In Robust Java, Sun Java expert Stephen Stelting shows you how. Using extensive code examples, Steve covers every facet of Java exceptions and exception handling, encompassing architecture, design, development, testing, and debugging. With the help of this book, you'll:

Discover best practices for Java exception handling
Learn failure mode analysis: how to anticipate where errors are most likely to occur
Understand the use of exceptions in complex APIs and frameworks including J2EE, JDBC, RMI, JMS, and more
Master application-wide exception handling strategies
Implement exceptions in complex distributed multi-tier systems
Learn proven design patterns for handling exceptions in code
Perform more effective Java testing and debugging using open source tools
Understand key architectural decisions that will improve robustness

Robust Java covers the entire development lifecycle—and it will support you in any development role: programmer, tester, project manager, or architect. No book offers more useful, realistic guidance for building rock-solid, maintainable Java code.

Best practice exception handling design
Thursday, January 06, 2005

Nobody wants to think about all of the things that can go wrong in an application. We all want to think about everything the application should do when everything goes right. But such is not always the case and we need to think about what happens when errors occur and exceptions are thrown.

This book starts with the basics of exception handling. Going through the do's and dont's in a very well written and informative manner. It then presents the exception handling specifics for each of the API, from the Java core, all the way through J2EE. Perhaps the most interesting part is saved for last as the author presents design patterns for exception handling.

This is an excellent work on error handling. It teaches the basics and leaves you with a good feeling that have you tools at your disposal to handle the errors. As opposed to trying to effectively disguise your head as you stick it in the sand.

IT workers, do yourself a favor: read this book!
Thursday, December 30, 2004

I've been using this for a couple of months now, and it's already paid for itself. I like that the author actually spelled out best practices for exception handling in the first part of the book. There are also good pointers for how to avoid common programming problems in Java.

In the second part of the book, there's a lot of good info about exceptions in the Java APIs. It's helpful that the author actually tells you reasons behind WHY code breaks and gives advice on how to deal with problems in code.

Strong on Design and Architecture
Tuesday, December 07, 2004

Robust Java covers a lot of ground from how to view exceptions in Analysis and Design, to how Java uses exceptions, to how specific APIs use exceptions, to testing and so on. The book's greatest strengths are in the areas of Design and Architecture in which Steve provides solid principles and guidelines for creating an exception model across a multi-tiered system.
