Jul 7, 2017 at 8:11 comment added Vogel612 @Tommy it's very poor practice, because it means the calling code has no specific information as to which exceptions are thrown. That's a problem, because specialized Exception types do contain additional information, which can't be recovered without guessing their type, making the whole exercise a problem...
Jul 7, 2017 at 0:41 comment added CodingNinja @Teifi "Stating "throws Exception" for a method I think is poor practice..." do you have some evidence to back that up? it sounds more like an opinion to me, rather than a fact.
Jul 7, 2017 at 0:39 comment added CodingNinja @Vogel612 it just shortens code, while producing the same effect.
Jul 6, 2017 at 12:56 comment added Mike Baxter All good points except for the last one. Stating "throws Exception" for a method I think is poor practice, as you should never really be throwing a raw 'Exception', rather a sub-class of an exception that describes what the problem actually is. I would recommend something like UserNotValidException.
