---------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Assignee: simon steiner (was: Batik Developer's Mailing list)
> Should never use Error to report runtime errors
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BATIK-906
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BATIK-906
> Project: Batik
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: GVT
> Affects Versions: 1.7
> Environment: Operating System: Windows XP
> Platform: PC
> Reporter: Sebb
> Assignee: simon steiner
>
> TIFFImageEncoder uses Error to report unexpected conditions, e.g.
> switch(dataType) {
> case DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE:
> if(sampleSize[0] != 1 && sampleSize[0] == 4 &&
> sampleSize[0] != 8) {
> throw new Error("TIFFImageEncoder2");
> }
> break;
> Using Error makes it hard to safely catch the exception, as there are some
> Errors that should not be caught (e.g. ThreadDeath)
> The code should use a more specific Error, e.g. RuntimeException or
> IllegalArgumentException or InvalidParameterException.
> There are over 70 classes where Error is thrown - please can these be changed
> to something more appropriate?
