The problem is that there's no way to specify an exception specification like "I propagate everything that this lambda throws" (or, for generics, "that method M of class C throws").
interface Func<P, R, X extends Exception>
{
R func(P param) throws X;
}
or the same with more than one exception type, and convert your lambda to that. This works. The only problem is that you can’t abstract over an arbitrary number of exception types.In principle, one could imagine a syntax for variadic type parameters like
interface Func<P..., R, X... extends Exception>
{
R func(P... params) throws X...;
}
that would solve that problem.
