What are you views on using CheckedExceptions and RuntimeExceptions in an application ? I’ve been advised to use a combination of both and, as far as I understand, you can have a chain of CheckedException calls being propagated up along with a RuntimeException.
Checked exceptions should only be thrown if you can reasonably expect the caller to handle them. Otherwise throw a RuntimeException (which doesn’t require that you declare it or that the handler catch it. This is the approach that Spring JDBC takes).
