Java Throwing Exception - Best Practise

What is the best practice to throw the error message?
As soon as I throw the exception, the exception has been traced in the errorlog.log file. I have more custom exception. If I throw these exceptions, for all the incorrect attempt, it will be traced in the logfile and it bugs the file and increasing the log file size.
what is the good way of doing this? Is it mandatory in java that we have to do the programming like this?
I want most of my custom messages like single line of error and very critical error should be thrown with complete error trace.
Need suggestion on error handling and tracing the log.

You should look into the logging frameworks likeslf4jorlog4j. They offer different logging levels, which exceptions might trigger. A severe message would only be logged for very serious exceptions.

It’s not a rule of life that every exception thrown is logged. I’d rather say it’s bad practice to so indiscriminately. I don’t know why your exceptions are, but it must come from a mechanism that is specific to your system.

In general what is the behavior if I throw an exception. It will print the logs in the console right? Instead, I want just one line message. How this could be done using throw? If I catch, I can use exception.getmessage. If I throw, the entire trace is getting printed.

Without knowing your setup we can’t tell. No, a program only produces a log if the code explicitly does so, and the only things that go into the log are those that the code writes into it.
