Hi,
I've been doing some stuffs with the Cypher API on M4 and found a couple
strange issues at the API, that I'd like to discuss.
- CypherParser.parse("") method throws SyntaxError, which is a checked
exception. 2 issues here.
a) a checked exception called Error, seems weird and going against
conventions. The name suggests it is an Error, thus, not recoverable.
b) I don't know about you guys, but I think that a SyntaxError should be
unchecked, I don't see it as recoverable. Take Hibernate API for instance,
if you write an invalid HQL, you'll get the exception, but without the extra
work of having to handle the exception that should not be handled, the query
should be fixed. Or maybe there is a scenario for it to be checked, but I'm
not aware of, I think the default scenario would be to not handle the
exception. And BTW, of course, I could just wrap it inside an unchecked
exception in my code.
Cheers,
