Abstract
This paper describes how correctness and robustness of componentbased systems can be improved by categorising exceptions by component state and cause, and handling them accordingly. Further, it is shown how this model is supported in C++ in a COM-based environment, also simplifying the code for exception detection, signalling, and handling.
