Hi all
I seem to be struggling to decide when an event is an exception or when it is something that prevents the requested action taking place but should be condidered a normal and possible part of program flow.
Sun's guidlines describe an exception thus:
An exception is an event that occurs during the execution of a program that disrupts the normal flow of instructions.
So by my estimation that would make the case of there not being enough seats in the database to cover the number requested an event that would not disrupt the normal flow of instructions as the user can simply be informed that there are not enough seats and the display updated to reflect the actual number available.
Am I right in this estimation?
Many thanks Sam
