Yes thanks Michael,

I agree with Scott about rather throwing an exception

Thanks Scott,

That's exactly the type of answer I called for. I'll get deeper in this

Re: svn commit: r1807240 - /ofbiz/ofbiz-framework/trunk/applications/order/src/main/java/org/apache/of biz/order/order/OrderReadHelper.java

Posted by Scott Gray <sc...@hotwaxsystems.com>.
Since this is such a complex problem perhaps we better come up with a best
practice since we have so many Helper/Worker/Reader classes in OFBiz and a
bit of API consistency goes a long way.

If a GenericEntityException is thrown within a Helper/Worker/Reader class
method, how should we handle it?

Options:
- Swallow it and return an incorrect value (current situation)
- Log the exception then swallow it and return an incorrect value (Jacques'
reverted fix)
- Add a throws declaration and let the caller decide if and how to handle it
- Log the exception and return null
- Re-throw as an unchecked exception such as an IllegalArgumentException
(this is already done in the constructors of that class)

IMO we currently have the worst of the options in place.  If a method
encounters an issue that prevents it from fulfilling it's function then the
caller should be made aware of that fact, either by throwing an exception
or at a minimum by returning null.  Only the caller knows what it wanted
the return value for, I don't see how handling an error is too much
complexity for it.  Maybe for the caller the value was just a nice-to-have
or maybe it was critical to get the correct value, either way I'm certain
the caller doesn't want an incorrect value masquerading as correct.

We have lots of Worker/Reader/Helper classes that have to deal with this
situation and they aren't so unique or complex that we can't come up with a
best practice for how they should be handled.  I don't generally like bulk
fixes but I do like some consistency within our APIs.

If you're willing to put energy into this Jacques, it would be good to get
the current "lay of the land" in terms of how all of our other helper
classes manage this problem.

Regards
Scott

I also agree with you and (again) I'm not using a static analysis tool.
As I said in the Jira (please check) I simply look for "catch (*) {}" and fix them one by one, we have still 80 at the moment...

I already spoke about that. While at it, what would be the better return to do?
Using a ZERO (as done in getShippableTotal()) is not better IMO.
So I decided to log and return the value at the point of the exception.
What would you suggest? I still believe throwing an exception is better because then the uppermost caller knows something is wrong.

I'm working on OFBIZ-8341 for months. We are on this one, why delay it more? Just put in in the limbo ?

Re: svn commit: r1807240 - /ofbiz/ofbiz-framework/trunk/applications/order/src/main/java/org/apache/of biz/order/order/OrderReadHelper.java

Posted by Taher Alkhateeb <sl...@gmail.com>.
Quoting Scott: "This is often why we can't just bulk fix the issues
reported by static analysis tools, because the fix requires a
thought-out solution that's totally dependent on the context of the
code in question" So I guess him and I are in agreement at least in
this point. Furthermore, to my understanding, the objection from
Michael and Scott in this commit is not the logging, but the returning
of the result which alters the behavior.

So the correct way to handle this issue IMHO is to examine exactly
what calls each one of the methods and then make sure the alteration
satisfies the requirements of the callers. Again quoting Scott:
"Better to put a FIXME tag in if there's no time to properly analyse
the issue." and I second that.

Thanks for the lesson, but wait! This is not a bulk fix, it's only ONE fix.
And if you look closely at OFBIZ-8341 you will see that I don't handle change there as bulk changes. I review and change each case one by one.
It's not the 1st time you get back to this point? You know what, I got it ;)

Now If you try, like me, to fix it using Scott's proposition of throwing the exception, you will see that you need to throw it from every places I did.
I don't see a way to avoid cascading exceptions in such cases, do you?

I proposed logging a message, but reverted on Scott's request. You both need to agree now :)

Yes I agree, and what do you prefer there?

Already done at r1807240 and reverted after Scott's suggestion, see 1st message in this thread.

I do so, I think we all work like that. But trying to anticipate is also a good thing. Hence my comment at http://markmail.org/message/gme2yztimtf43oso
Let me quote myself again to make it more clear for everybody:

<<"I'll sometimes create subtasks or new Jira issues to differentiate cases that
need to be discussed. It would be good for instance for a type of exception and a type of file
(service, event, helper/handler/test/etc.) to use and adopt a same type of exception handling."

Having patterns would help everybody, when creating, reviewing, refactoring,
etc. >>

I think it's time, and a good opportunity here, to discuss about that. I think a specific thread would be required.
But, like you kindly said, ("I write things when I think them.") it's hard to anticipate, especially when handling previously swallowed exceptions, it 
seems.

As I've mentioned numerous time, i don't recommend mass fixes because
you might be fixing an error with another error. Bulk changes are
never a good idea because it means you don't know exactly what you're
doing or how the code is affected. Such changes need to happen slowly
and carefully. Just because because we have swallowed exceptions does
not mean we mass fix them. You might trigger other unknown side
effects without carefully studying every thing.
My recommendation is to not touch anything, maybe a log message would
be enough, but not to change anything else without a careful deep look
at the code.

Not necessarily, the exception propagation strategy is dependent on
the design, architecture and intent. Exception handling can get real
nasty real quick if not studied carefully, it will pollute your design
and make things painful for everyone. Sometimes it makes sense to
escalate an exception, and sometimes it makes sense to handle it
immediately, it just depends on the situation.

Re: svn commit: r1807240 - /ofbiz/ofbiz-framework/trunk/applications/order/src/main/java/org/apache/of biz/order/order/OrderReadHelper.java

Posted by Jacques Le Roux <ja...@les7arts.com>.
I easily see 3 alternatives:

 1. Swallow the exception, like we currently do. This should be forbidden in all cases, I'd veto that!-
 2. Log an error and return a wrong result, like it's currently done by getShippableTotal() in the same class. That's what I proposed, but instead of
    returning ZERO, I returned the already calculated result.
 3. Throw an error, based on Scott's suggestion in dev ML, like the patch does.

Sincerely I have not strong opinions about 2 and 3. But technically I prefer 3 because the exception must then be handled by the caller (very unlikely 
to be isolated, we talk about a GenericEntityException here). That's how an API should be written, the exception should pop to the initial topmost caller.

If you have another alternative, I'm ready to discuss it.

Maybe you will suggest to refactor the whole thing (class, classes, etc.) but sincerely then an elaborated plan would be needed beforehand.
And in any case it's then an order magnitude more complex that the 2 solutions above. I don't say it's impossible, just that I'll maybe not see it :)

Re: svn commit: r1807240 - /ofbiz/ofbiz-framework/trunk/applications/order/src/main/java/org/apache/of biz/order/order/OrderReadHelper.java

Posted by Taher Alkhateeb <sl...@gmail.com>.
What I understand is that the patch is essentially changing the
signature of most methods to throw an exception. On a first glance
this seems to be putting the code in a worst state because now you're
adding complexity for the caller to figure out how to handle these
exceptions.

What is the purpose of this change? What is the gain?

I disagree, not on the patch itself but on the time frame you give us to

I see no reason to put pressure on this issue.
