Allowing every method in SAX interfaces to throw java.lang.Exception
basically disables Java compile-time exception checking. I do not think
this is a good idea.
How about defining ApplicationException class which is basicaly an exception
container?
public void startDocument () throws ApplicationException {
try {
// some IO
}
catch (Exception ex) {
throw new ApplicationException(ex);
}
}
