123-java-exception-handling
SolidUse when you need to apply Java exception handling best practices — including using specific exception types, managing resources with try-with-resources, securing exception messages, preserving error context via exception chaining, validating inputs early with fail-fast principles, handling thread interruption correctly, documenting exceptions with @throws, enforcing logging policy, translating exceptions at API boundaries, managing retries and idempotency, enforcing timeouts, attaching suppressed exceptions, and propagating failures in async/reactive code.

126-java-exception-handling
Use when you need to apply Java exception handling best practices — including using specific exception types, managing resources with try-with-resources, securing exception messages, preserving error context via exception chaining, validating inputs early with fail-fast principles, handling thread interruption correctly, documenting exceptions with @throws, enforcing logging policy, translating exceptions at API boundaries, managing retries and idempotency, enforcing timeouts, attaching suppressed exceptions, and propagating failures in async/reactive code. This should trigger for requests such as Exception handling; Use try-with-resources in Java code; Create exception chaining in Java code; Apply fail-fast validation in Java code.

143-java-functional-exception-handling
Use when you need to apply functional exception handling best practices in Java — including replacing exception overuse with Optional and VAVR Either types, designing error type hierarchies using sealed classes and enums, implementing monadic error composition pipelines, establishing functional control flow patterns, and reserving exceptions only for truly exceptional system-level failures. This should trigger for requests such as Improve the code with Functional Exception Handling; Apply Functional Exception Handling; Refactor the code with Functional Exception Handling.

180-java-observability-logging
Use when you need to implement or improve Java logging and observability — including selecting SLF4J with Logback/Log4j2, applying proper log levels (ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE), parameterized logging, secure logging without sensitive data exposure, environment-specific configuration, log aggregation and monitoring, or validating logging through tests.

Use when you need to implement or improve Java logging and observability — including selecting SLF4J with Logback/Log4j2, applying proper log levels (ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE), parameterized logging, secure logging without sensitive data exposure, environment-specific configuration, log aggregation and monitoring, or validating logging through tests. This should trigger for requests such as Improve logging; Apply logging; Refactor logging; Add logging support. Part of cursor-rules-java project
