Exception handling in java methods can be done in many ways. We can log the reason for the exception, the respective stack trace and we can even manage to print the stack trace to your application specific logs(java does that by default though) explicitly using Reflection API or many other mechanisms. Pega also have such mechanism to exception handling in Activity rules. This can be done using standard when conditions named StepStatusGood and StepStatusFail(in @baseclass) in transitions of activities. These when conditions internally uses pxMethodStatus property to validate whether the execution of the particular step is successfull or failure. pxMethodStatus  property will be updated regulary with the status after end of each step execution and before the start of the next step execution. We also have a boolean named hasMessages which informs you whether a page contains one or more page messages. Any page which has one or more messages are treated invalid page  ...

Screen flow enables the user to go back and forth and edit the information at any point of time till the form is submitted finally. Screen flow can be created from New instance of FLOW rule dialog. The Template field has to be selected as screen flow.  Screen flows cannot create new work object and hence cannot be used to start an application. Because, "Creates a new work object?"  option in the process tab of Flow rule will be disabled for screen flows. This also means, a screen flow is useless unless used in a starter(i mean standard) flow. Screen flows can have embedded subflows. But normal standard flow cannot be added as subflow and only another screen flow can be added as subflow. The available flow shapes for a screen flow are, In screen flow, Flowactions are referenced by assignment shape rather than connect...
