Structuring Exceptions

Posted by jaideep ganguli on October 03, 2000 at 8:00 PM

i'm currently working on a large project with many modules/packages.
does it make sense to categorize the exceptions thrown out of the system by module.
for example if i have a PERSON module and an INVENTORY module does it make sense to have abstract classes like PersonException and InventoryException and guarantee that any exception thrown out of these modules will be subclasses of these classes. So for any standard java exceptions thrown out of the module you would wrap it with a subclass of the PersonException or InventoryException.

thanks
Jaideep
