Abstract

E-business applications are getting more complex as the demand for their usage and additional functionality is growing. This phenomenon has two sides: one is that e-business is spreading and required technologies are forced to improve, the negative side is that fast growth of technologies are leaving quite many holes for all kinds of exception appearance and starts lacking user friendliness in its functionality. Basically, if user encounters one exception while working with e-business application, this exception tends to become cyclic and initiate other exceptions in system background. In such cases, exception prevention mechanisms are vital as they are the key to the system flexibility and stability. The same is with dealing with already occurred exceptions. It is vital to help a user to finish a procedure and to deal with the already made damage. This paper is dedicated to the analysis of possible ways and mechanisms of solving this kind of problems.
