Package me.josephsf.jobportaljosephsfeir.exception

package me.josephsf.jobportaljosephsfeir.exception

Provides exception handling for the Job Portal application.

This package contains custom exception classes and a global exception handler that provide a structured approach to handling errors throughout the application. The exceptions defined here are used to create consistent, informative error responses for the REST API endpoints.

Key components in this package:

• ResourceNotFoundException - Thrown when a requested resource (job, user, application, etc.) cannot be found
• BadRequestException - Thrown when a client sends an invalid or malformed request
• UnauthorizedException - Thrown when authentication fails or a user lacks permission for an action
• GlobalExceptionHandler - Central exception handler that converts exceptions to appropriate HTTP responses

These exception classes are used throughout the service layer and controllers to provide clear, consistent error handling. The GlobalExceptionHandler ensures that all exceptions (including system exceptions) are translated into well-formed JSON responses with appropriate HTTP status codes.

Example usage:

 public Job getJobById(String id) {
     return jobRepository.findById(id)
         .orElseThrow(() -> new ResourceNotFoundException("Job", "id", id));
 }
