Answer 1

If you don't need the stack trace you can suppress the stack trace by overriding fillInStackTrace in your exception class.

public class DuplicateFoundException extends RuntimeException {
    @Override
    public synchronized Throwable fillInStackTrace() {
        return this;
    }
}

When you invoke e.printStackTrace() then no stack trace will be printed.
