Can you perform the insert, and capture the error that comes back on the SQLException?

Currently it is possible for a user to create a new Module by specifying a module code, name, etc.. The module code is a primary key and must be a unique value, though it must match with a value stored in another system so can not be an auto-increment value. Is there any way to prevent a user from creating two modules with the same Id, other than doing a select statement first to see if it will break any database rules. Doing it that way would mean any change to the database structure such as the removal of a primary keep will require an update to my Java classes. I was hoping there is a way for iBATIS catch the error and return something to let the user know their attempted insertion was invalid and was not completed.
