Dealing with RemoteExceptions is very similar to handling system exceptions except that they are not descendants of either java.lang.Error or java.lang.RuntimeException.

Often, the application will not be able to recover from a RemoteException and will have to display the system error page. If you’re using EJB and you get a RemoteException, you can attempt to recover by acquiring a new remote reference, but there’s probably some type of programming or environment error that will prevent the end user from continuing. Whether you’re using a programmatic or a declarative approach, you’ll likely want to log the exception, create and store an ActionError object, and then forward to the system error page. You can also define the exception-handling behavior to forward the user back to the previous page and give her the choice of trying again.
