Resolution: Duplicate
This i sa duplicate of OFBIZ-5004
> printing IllegalArgumentException instead of throwing it because Map
> interface specification does not allow throwing that exception
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OFBIZ-4987
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4987
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: SVN trunk
> Reporter: Christoph Neuroth
>
> This code in GenericEntity.java:
> {code}
> Debug.logWarning("The field name (or key) [" + name + "] is not
> valid for entity [" + this.getEntityName() + "], printing
> IllegalArgumentException instead of throwing it because Map interface
> specification does not allow throwing that exception.", module);
> {code}
> is really annoying and IMHO it is really wrong. First, it does not print an
> exception, it only prints that string with no stacktrace (I think that was
> changed at some point). Second, IllegalArgument is a RuntimeException so the
> interface does not need to allow it to be thrown.
> Personally, I think the warning is not even neccessary. We often don't know
> exactly what kind of model we're dealing with and just check if it has that
> field or not. With this code, to prevent excessive log clutter, we have to
> wrap each call with a "containsKey". A java map will just return null
> silently as well.
> If anyone is really worried about accessing fields wrong (your tests should
> catch that error), there could be an extra method "getOrThrow" or something,
> but get should just return the value or null.
