Task

$ARGUMENTS

Your Approach

1. Read the guideline file for error handling patterns
2. Understand failure scenarios - What can go wrong?
3. Determine error strategy (stop vs continue, centralized vs local)
4. Recommend appropriate patterns from the guideline
5. Provide implementation guidance with examples
6. Discuss recovery and retry approaches

Error Handling Strategies

Stop on Exception (Fail-Fast):

• Critical operations (payments, bookings)
• All-or-nothing semantics
• Data consistency is paramount
• Single failure invalidates batch

Continue on Exception (Best-Effort):

• Non-critical operations (notifications)
• Partial success acceptable
• Independent message processing
• Best-effort delivery

Exception Subprocesses:

• Complex error handling logic
• Specialized error processing
• Multiple error handling paths

Outsourced Error Handling:

• Shared error handling across flows
• Centralized logging/notification
• Complex recovery procedures

Key Patterns

• Local integration process error handling
• Splitter with/without stop on exception
• Exception subprocess (End Event, Error End Event, Escalation)
• Dependent flow error handling (parent-child)
• Error in successful response detection
