Are you suggesting that we refactor that to push it through the JWTToken ctor and catch an exception on every passcode use? Throwing exceptions for flow control is generally a poor practice for performance and design reasons. The current implementation only throws exceptions in exceptional conditions. Are you suggesting something other than my assumptions here? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
