What is the best practice when dealing with Errors within a server application? In particular, how do you think an application should handle errors like `OutOfMemoryError`? I'm particularly interested in Java applications running within Tomcat, but I think that is a more general problem. --- *The reason I'm asking is because I am reviewing a web application that frequently throws OOME, but usually it just logs them and then proceeds with execution. That results, obviously, in more OOMEs.* *While that is certainly bad practice, in my opinion, I'm not entirely sure that stopping the Server would be the best solution.*
