All Implemented Interfaces:

public class EmptyBrandException extends Exception
Checked exception thrown when an attempt is made to create or update a product without specifying a valid brand.

The brand is a mandatory attribute for Product entities in the system. This exception ensures data integrity by preventing products from being persisted with null or blank brand values.

Typical scenarios that trigger this exception:

  • Calling new Product(...) or a setter with null or empty brand
  • Submitting a product creation form with missing brand information
  • Validation failure during import or batch processing of products

Being a checked exception, it forces the caller to explicitly handle the situation — appropriate for business rule violations that are expected and recoverable in normal application flow.
