All Implemented Interfaces:

public class EmptyExpiryException extends Exception
Checked exception thrown when an attempt is made to create or update a credit card without providing a valid expiry date (month/year).

The expiry date is a mandatory, non-null field for the CreditCard entity. This exception ensures that only cards with a properly defined expiration are accepted, preventing incomplete or invalid payment methods from being stored.

Typical scenarios that trigger this exception:

  • User submits a payment method form without selecting or entering an expiry date
  • Calling CreditCard.setExpiry(java.time.YearMonth) with null
  • Validation failure during checkout, registration of a new card, or data import
  • Business rule enforcement – cards must have a defined expiration date

This is a checked exception, requiring the caller to handle the situation explicitly. It represents an expected, recoverable validation error rather than a programming bug.
