Group,

I have a situation where some of the  class/non-class methodsmake many 
levels of function calls, some of the function in this call hierarchy 
may throw exception, what is a good idea

#1 inner function rethrow (by empty throw), such that exception is 
propagated back to the top level function.

#2inner function does not throw (by empty throw), this exception will be 
by **default** propagated back to the top level routine (assuming 
intermediate routines are not catching the exception).

#3 When it is a good idea that function(inner) receiving the exception 
or some intermediate function catch it and from there error event is 
propagated back through some error code.

thanks
Ittium
