如何处理错误处理系统中的错误？

Question

I've been working on developing a java web service. In this project I have an error handling system. My problem is what to do if the error handling system itself throws an exception(eg FileNotFoundExcption for the log file). Should it be swallowed? or Should it be sent to user or something else.

_new information_________

In my older prjects when ever an exception is thrown. 1-system catch the exception. 2a- system return an appropriate message to the user. 2b- System logs the exception with it's whole stack trace.this way the end user can inform the admin and admin sends me the error log. my question is what if the system can't log the exception. in the past i would have send a second message to the user to inform the system admin about this. I'm wondering if this is the right choice.

Any kind of information is appreciated.

Answer 1

It depends. To catch or throw an exception, it all depends on the context in which exception occurs.

To answer your question If there is something that can be done with an exception, go ahead.
