Hi Jorg,

Actually you can declare handlers in methods and/or class and use a special 
invocation in your catch block -- HandlerUtil.handle(e) -- to tell it you want 
to use the declared exception. This is the more flexible approach, because you 
can handle only what you want.

The other option is to let Jeha put the method invocation automatically, by a 
Ant task through Javassist. In this case it's not necessary to codify anything 
(only annotation) and all catch blocks will contain a call to 
HandlerUtil.handle(e).

In relation to rethrow, Jeha uses this interface to handle any exception 
specified by the user:

public interface Handler {
   public Throwable handle(Throwable throwable, Object... methodParams);
}

Since handle() method returns Throwable, you can rethrow an exception any time 
you want.

Regards,

Andre

It might be only me, but I see this approach a bit critical. On one hand
you're right, writing exception code is quite tedious sometimes, but with
your solution you wipe out any useful method signature regarding exception
declaration. What happens if I don't wanna handle certain exception types
or RuntimeException instances? I cannot simply rethrow from the handler.
