public class ApplicationException
extends java.lang.Exception

A base Exception for application exceptions, exceptions which are expected to occur in the course of the application's execution (as opposed to RuntimeExceptions which might occur as a result of unforseen states or values in the system). Application exceptions are considered "potentially recoverable", as their possibility is a known, compile time issue and how they are handled can be predicted. An application can choose to handle an application exception and not generate any error states, or it can choose to rethrow the exception and make it someone elses problem (who may then choose to terminate the application or handle the exception themselves).

ApplicationExceptions are "error code based", meaning that all ApplicationExceptions are built using an ErrorCode object, which in turn references an existing error code entry (which then lists the corresponding error message). This allows for standardized error messages that can also be internationalized. See the ErrorCode class for more information. ApplicationException has a default error code for when an ErrorCode is not supplied.
