An exception handling strategy typically consists of the following elements:

1. Error detection
2. Error information gathering
3. Throwing the exception
4. Propagating the exception, possibly adding context information to it.
5. Catching and reacting to the exception:
   • Retrying the action, if possible.
   • Notifying relevant parties.

I will talk a bit about each of these elements in the following pages.
