Interesting Links – 18 Nov 2016

Today’s apparently a Microsoft edition of the interesting links! Almost everything relates back to them this time… From wyvern: “The Error Model” is an article discussing… exceptions. Exception handling and the “checked or unchecked” question is (still) controversial in Java; article provides some interesting context on error handling approaches, and explains how error handling evolved in Midori (Microsoft’s experimental research OS). A fundamental decision when choosing to make your API throw a checked...

Natty is a natural language date parser written in Java. The idea is that you feed it corpora like "1984/04/02", "february twenty-eighth", or "3 days from now", and get back a list of potential matching Date objects. It is not designed to pull dates out of natural language – for that you’d want something like OpenNLP – but it might be able to help convert the natural language dates you get from OpenNLP...

Deep Dive: All about Exceptions

Overview Exceptions are a mechanism for java code to signal extraordinary conditions (such as virtual machine errors like running out of memory, code bugs such as passing a negative number to a method that doesn’t accept negative numbers, alternative ways a method can exit, such as an attempt to read from a network socket aborting because the other end severed the connection, and even intentional control flow such as aborting a thread ASAP). They...

Catching (and implementing) exceptions

Introduction In a previous article on Using exceptions correctly, exception propagation was explained: use runtime exceptions for situations in which the code is incorrect, and use checked exceptions for situations for which there is a valid recovery path internal to the application. This article deals with two other things you will have to do with exceptions: catching them and implementing them. And in order to do both, you have to know about exception classes themselves...
