Hi! >> it's a wonderful mechanism with more uses than simply reporting errors >> - the aspect of transferring control is what I find really interesting >> about exceptions. Exceptions should not be used for flow control. They are called "exceptions" for a reason - to signify that something unusual (exceptional) happened outside normal application functionality, which now needs to be abandoned and the application should switch into "the sky is falling, how I get out of it without losing too much?" mode. If you're using exceptions for anything that is normal for your application, you're doing it wrong. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
