Abstract

This paper describes how correctness and robustness of component-based systems can be improved by categorising exceptions by component state and cause, and handling them accordingly. Further, it is shown how this model is supported in C++ in a COM-based environment, also simplifying the code for exception detection, signalling, and handling.
