public class IncorrectPriceException extends Exception
Checked exception thrown when an attempt is made to set or update a product price (or any monetary amount) with an invalid or unacceptable value.

According to the current business rules, a price must satisfy the following constraints:

  • Must be greater than or equal to zero (negative prices are not allowed)
  • Cannot be null when persisting a Product
  • Typically represented as BigDecimal to avoid floating-point precision issues
  • May have additional restrictions (e.g., maximum value, specific scale/precision)

Typical scenarios that trigger this exception:

  • Admin or seller enters a negative price while creating/updating a product
  • Calling Product#setPrice(BigDecimal) with null or a negative value
  • Data import or integration process submitting invalid pricing information
  • Dynamic pricing engine generating an out-of-range or malformed price
  • Discount/promotion logic accidentally resulting in a negative final price

This is a checked exception, forcing the caller to explicitly handle invalid pricing situations. It represents a recoverable business-rule violation that commonly occurs during product management and order processing.
