Catch multiple exceptions and throw a new list of exceptions

Look at the following code:

public void editProduct(String articleNumber, ...) {
 product.setArticleNumber(articleNumber);
 product.setDescription(description);
 product.setLendable(lendable);
 product.setName(name);
 product.setPrice(price);
 product.setPlace(place);
}


All of the setters can throw a ProductException with a custom message. But I want to catch all the exceptions. If there are exceptions, I want to send a list to the GUI of all the errors.

How can I do this, or do I need to surround every line with a Try Catch?

Yo can try the following code. if it is suitable

public void editProduct(String articleNumber, ...) {
    int count=1;
    Vector<String> v=new Vector<String>();
    while(count<=6)
    {
        try{

            switch(count)
            {
                case 1:product.setArticleNumber(articleNumber);break;//assume it will throw ArticalException
                case 2:product.setDescription(description);break;   //DescriptionException
                case 3:product.setLendable(lendable);break;         //LendableException
                case 4:product.setName(name);break;                 //NameException
                case 5:product.setPrice(price);break;               //PriceException
                case 6:product.setPlace(place);break;               //PlaceException
            }
            count++;
        }catch(Exception e)
        {
            v.add(e.getMessage);
            count++;
            /*
             *suppose there is some exception like ArticalException,PriceException
             *then it will store in vector and your program running continue
             *and at last you have the list of all exceptions that are occured in program
             *now you will take desired action what you want to do 
             **/
        }
    }

If you really want to do such a thing, you could delegate the property setting to a method that would catch run the setter as a lambda, then catch the possible exception, or add it to a list:

class C {
    @FunctionalInterface
    private static interface TaskMayThrow {
        void run() throws CustomException;
    }

    private static boolean runTask(TaskMayThrow task, List<CustomException> errList) {
        try {
            task.run();
            return true;
        } catch(CustomException e) {
            errList.add(e);
            return false;
        }
    }

    List<CustomException> exceptionList = new ArrayList<CustomException>();
    public void editProduct(String articleNumber, ...) 
    {
         runTask(() -> product.setArticleNumber(articleNumber), exceptionList);
         runTask(() -> product.setDescription(description), exceptionList);
         // The same for all other setters
         // Do whatever you want with the error list
     }

if you need all the exceptions in list then you have to surround each line by try catch and add the exception in a list and in the last check the size of the list is greater than 0 then return that list as exception.

List<CustomException> exceptionList = new ArrayList<CustomException>();
public void editProduct(String articleNumber, ...) 
{
     try{
          product.setArticleNumber(articleNumber);
     }catch(CustomException exception)
     {
       exceptionList.add(exception);
      }
      try{
      product.setDescription(description);
      }catch(CustomException exception)
     {
       exceptionList.add(exception);
      }
     try{
     product.setLendable(lendable);
     }catch(CustomException exception)
     {
       exceptionList.add(exception);
      }
     try{
          product.setName(name);
     }catch(CustomException exception)
     {
       exceptionList.add(exception);
      }
      try{
       product.setPrice(price);
     }catch(CustomException exception)
     {
       exceptionList.add(exception);
      }
     try{
      product.setPlace(place);
     }catch(CustomException exception)
     {
       exceptionList.add(exception);
      }
}
