I've been working with loading entities from databases lately. One of the problems you sometimes run into is an entry that can't be loaded properly. For some reason or other some of the data associated with it is bad. Now at this point you could throw an exception but you might not want to interrupt the loading. Instead you may want to load the item up and somehow pass up a notification that there was a problem.
I've been thinking of notification sets as used in business rule systems and if that was something that could be used. So my question to everyone is how have they dealt with this problem? Does anyone have a cool/interesting system that deals with loading entities which deals with problems while still allowing the loading of the entity?
