AOP and Exception Handling

[tasdemir]

does spring has built in aspects for exception handling? if so,
is there any documentation about exception handling with Spring AOP?

See http://static.springframework.org/sp...-advice-throws.

If you are talking about pre-built aspects, then I don't think so. What do you want to do when you get an exception? Log it?

[tasdemir]

In my methods I don't want repeat the same catch statements.
for example DataAccessException.
I want to log the exception, create a new exception with a custom message and rethrow it.

AOP Is great at applying the same solution to lots of different places based on rules. If every instance has custom code, i.e. a different solution, AOP doesn't fit the bill in my book.

You could define a pointcut that will be applied after throwing a certain exception. Even with a simple around advice, you could handle the exception in a proper way.

But why would you like to rethrow it?
If it is an unrecoverable exception, it is not likely that you can do anything with the new exception.
