Why is it a bad idea to throw your own exceptions?..

Answer / pradeep

Hi Swapna,

throwing our Own Exception does not Means that there is
Design Flaws,

Assume that your application Involves DB Operation,

EG:

It Reads Data from an MSACCESS file,

and you are connecting the D.B through you program,

but can u tell me, what will happen if somebody/some other
application Exclusively opened the Access file before ur
Program,
----------------
A wise Programmer will foresee this Issue, and will Create
his own Exception Handler, which will instruct his User to
close that MSACCESS file,

----

So SWAPNA pls Grow UP, and try to think like how MEN Do,..

Answer / swapna

if at that point you know that an error has occurred, then
why not write the proper code to handle that error instead
of passing a new Exception object to the catch block?

Throwing your own exceptions signifies some design flaws in
the project.
