Package com.example.springrest.exceptions

package com.example.springrest.exceptions
This package defines custom exceptions for the application.

Exceptions in this package extend standard Java or Spring exceptions to represent domain-specific error conditions. They improve readability and allow centralized error handling.

Responsibilities

  • Provide meaningful exception types (e.g. ProductNotFoundException).
  • Support fine-grained error handling and more descriptive API responses.
  • Work in tandem with @ControllerAdvice and Spring's exception handling mechanisms to translate exceptions into HTTP responses.

Design Notes

  • Prefer runtime exceptions for domain errors to reduce boilerplate.
  • Group related exceptions into this package for maintainability.
  • Document exception behavior in service and controller methods.
