Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hey,

I have SWT client that communicate with the server via facade.

The facade layer is a group of stateless session beans.

I want to get advices from you about handling exceptions.

1. As I mentioned above the fa�ade is stateless session bean (ejb3) and the transaction is CMT, which means that the transaction is closed and committed after my method ended. The problem with this is that the client gets unclear exceptions like DB vendor exception or hibernate exception in case of commit failure. I want to hear what are you doing?

2. If inner component in the server throw an exception the above layer wrap this exception and throw it to the layer above in case it catch the exception. In the fa�ade I cant wrap the exception I get and throw it to the client, because the client doesn�t know the inner server exception or third-party exception, so it will get class not found.. in order to solve this I have catch(Exception) in the fa�ade that throw new ServerClientException , but in this way I lose a lot of information regarded to the underline reasons to the exception. I be happy to hear your opinion about this.

Thank you
