--------------------------------------

             Summary: [FB] Package org.apache.ofbiz.widget.renderer.fo
                 Key: OFBIZ-9685
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-9685
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: Sub-task
    Affects Versions: Trunk
            Reporter: Julian Leichert
            Priority: Minor


ScreenFopViewHandler.java:93, REC_CATCH_EXCEPTION
- REC: Exception is caught when Exception is not thrown in org.apache.ofbiz.widget.renderer.fo.ScreenFopViewHandler.render(String, String, String, String, String, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse)

This method uses a try-catch block that catches Exception objects, but Exception is not thrown within the try block, and RuntimeException is not explicitly caught. It is a common bug pattern to say try { ... } catch (Exception e) { something } as a shorthand for catching a number of types of exception each of whose catch blocks is identical, but this construct also accidentally catches RuntimeException as well, masking potential bugs.

A better approach is to either explicitly catch the specific exceptions that are thrown, or to explicitly catch RuntimeException exception, rethrow it, and then catch all non-Runtime Exceptions, as shown below:

  try {
    ...
  } catch (RuntimeException e) {
    throw e;
  } catch (Exception e) {
    ... deal with all non-runtime exceptions ...
  }
