@jonhnny ah but doesn't the documentation for UnexpectedException explain itself as

"An UnexpectedException is thrown if the client of a remote method call receives, as a result of the call, a checked exception that is not among the checked exception types declared in the throws clause of the method in the remote interface."

which isn't particularly generic, despite the nice name of the exception itself.

I use an UnexpectedException, a RuntimeExcpetion like as GuruMeditationFailure!

When learning for SCJP I’ve made the following notes (they can be useful for the background): http://dobrzanski.net/2008/03/22/exeptions-and-errors/

I have been known to throw new RuntimeException(“Broken logic, life sucks”) exceptions from here and there. or exceptions with strange error codes, such as new RuntimeException(“Error 69”).

I don’t expect to ever get a report about those, but it’s always fun.
