The Exception object inherits from the Throwable object and is the base class for user-defined or "checked" exceptions. A function or user-defined event must declare each checked exception it throws, and a caller to a function or event that throws a checked exception must either catch the exception or throw the exception itself.
Unlike RuntimeError objects, Exception objects do not have built-in properties that provide information about the location where the error occurred.
The CORBAUserException system object inherits from Exception. This object maps to the CORBA_USER_EXCEPTION object that can be thrown from CORBA applications when user-defined exceptions have not been handled. Unlike the CORBASystemException object and its descendants, the CORBAUserException object is a checked exception and must be declared and caught like other checked exceptions.
