In this article, we are going to look at the proper way of handling errors in Spring StateMachine.

A state machine is a conceptual model that describes a system’s behavior through a finite set of states, transitions between those states, and the events that cause those changes. It is used in computer science and engineering. It is a popular abstraction for software development, control systems, and business processes, among other disciplines. It is a potent representation of dynamic systems.

One of the most important aspects of state machine is error handling, which is dealing with unforeseen problems or anomalies that might arise when a program is being executed. It is a crucial component of building software systems that are stable and dependable.

Errors can appear in a number of ways during the software development process, including unexpected inputs, logical problems, and runtime exceptions. To maintain the software’s smooth operation, effective error handling attempts to identify, report, and, if feasible, gracefully recover from these problems.
