[shrinkwrap-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SHRINKWRAP-204) ArchiveFileSystem.openInputStream returns null on missing Asset, should throw IOException

[Andrew Lee Rubinger (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKWRAP-204?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12538706#action_12538706 ] 

Andrew Lee Rubinger commented on SHRINKWRAP-204:
------------------------------------------------

Since when should someone "always expect" a RuntimeException?  This represents some error not usually recoverable by the application, or at least expected to be handled by it.

The API uses IOExceptions, sure, because we're opening streams and that's necessary.  But the underlying cause is *not* an IO problem.  It's a problem with the user requesting something that's not there.  Which is a user error, not an IOException.
