Dapeng Sun updated CRYPTO-95:
-----------------------------
Assignee: Sebb
> Code should never catch Throwable
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: CRYPTO-95
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CRYPTO-95
> Project: Commons Crypto
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sebb
> Assignee: Sebb
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> As a general rule, code should never catch Throwable or Error, only Exception.
> Sometimes it is necessary to catch more than just Exception, but if so, the
> code must be careful to rethrow certain errors, e.g.
> ThreadDeath
> VirtualMachineError
> There may be some others
> If the throwable is not logged, then it's vital to ensure that only the
> appropriate ones are swallowed.
> But it is better to be explicit and only catch errors which are safe to
> handle.
