Exceptions · interview question
A repository catches SQLException. What is the strongest reason to do that?
Multiple choiceEasychapter-6-curatedpremiumexceptionscode-reading-with-exceptions
Answer and explanation
Correct answer
D. To translate a low-level failure into a clearer persistence or domain exception with context
Why
Lower layers often catch technical exceptions so they can translate them into clearer application-specific failures. If a repository can add order IDs or persistence meaning, that catch is architectural, not decorative.
