Optionally Catch Exception If Not Going To Be Caught By Calling Routine?
Apr 10, 2014
I want to write classes with methods that perform JDBC operations that throw SQL exceptions. For many of the methods, I'd ideally like to be able to have them catch exceptions and just send them to a standard Logging system "IF" the code that calls the methods is not going to catch the same exception. However, I'd like the "option" to have code that calls these methods catch the same errors if I want to but not "Require" the calling routines to catch them.... so I don't want to declare the methods with a "throws" that would require all calling code to Try/catch.
For some background, the logic behind what I'm looking to do is that there will be lots of places where these classes and their methods may be used where the code is basically "throw away" scripting code where just having error logs generated is more than sufficient. However there are also places I want to use the same classes/methods that I would want to handle the exception differently. So, for at least half the places I want to use these methods, there's no good reason to require cluttering the calling code with Try/catch, but when I DO want to handle the exceptions, I'd like them to get passed up to the calling routine so I can handle them in a way that is appropriate for the calling routine. Does that make sense?
I guess I'm kind of looking for is the ability to "override" the catch of a called method "IF" I want to but to treat the method as though it doesn't throw any exception "IF" I don't want to override the called routines catch logic.
I am getting the above error and am not sure which direction to proceed. In the class, the only way we have discussed getting user input is by System.in.read. I have searched and apparently found better methods for getting user input, but wanted to stick with what has been presented thus far.
Assignment Directions:
1. Create a new class named “valuemethod”
2. Create a new method named “Main”
3. In Main Write the code that will call the method EnterPay and YearlySal
4. Create a new method named “EnterPay”
5. In the EnterPay method Write the code that asks the user to input their hourly wage. Use the formula to calculate their yearly salary: wage * 2040. Return the yearly salary to the main method
6. In the main method write the code that will display this: “Your yearly salary is:
Java Code:
package valuemethod; public class Valuemethod { public static void main(String[] args) //throws java.io.IOException -- moved to EnterPay
I came across a code where the exceptions can be thrown from catch and finally block too. I never gave a thought on what scenarios that can be required. Some practical examples when/where it can be required to throw the exception from catch and finally blocks.
The requirement is to write a rectangle class and a test class, which include try-catch blocks and exception handling. Exceptions, involving try, catch, throw, throws, and finally commands,how to write a code about basic things, but in the test class, it gives me specific width and height so that i dont konw how to write a try-catch blocks an exception handling in this test class.There is my two classes, they are separated.
public class Rectangle { double width ; double height ; Rectangle(){ width = 1; height = 1;
If I put the highlighted text in try/catch block it is throwing NullPointerException , if I am using command line arguments then also it is showing the same exception.
java 7 feature (Multicatch and final rethrow ).. how to print user defined message in catch block with respect to multiple exceptions in single catch block...
Ex: }catch (IOException | SQLException ex) { System.out.println("Exception thrown"); /** * i want like this, if IOException is thrown then System.out.println("File not Found"); * if SQLException is thrown then System.out.println("DataBase Error"); */ }
what is the use of checked exception.I know unchecked exception or Runtime exception are thrown by jvm whenever programmer makes any mistake in logic and current thread is terminated.But checked Exception are checked at compile time so that compiler compels programmer to put risky methods in try catch clause. And this checked Exception are caused due to problem in IO operation or any such operation which the programmer can't control.Programmer can't do anything to avoid this checked exception but can catch this exception.
Now the question is Why compiler compels checked exception to be put in try catch clause but doesn't complain anything in case of Runtime Exception???
I know that I am not 100% comprehending try/catch blocks, but after scouring message boards, forums, and Oracle, I still can't pick out where I am going wrong.
I have a ValidateInput class where I am trying to check that a String only has letters. If not, then throw an exception message via JOptionPane. I created my own NonLetterException class. When I call the method containing the try/catch Eclipse gives me an Unhandled Exception Type error.
in main() ValidateInput validate = new ValidateInput(); String name = "error"; for(int x = 0; x < 1;){ name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Welcome. What is your name?"); boolean isItName = validate.stringInput(name); //error appears at validate.stringInput if(isItName)
[code]....
Aren't I handling it in the try/catch? What did I miss?
Also, I have have tried the NonLetterException class as nested in ValidatedInput, but also not nested. To me nested makes more sense. I have never nested classes before, but it makes sense to me because I am not using this exception in other parts of my program.
I have a file greenGrow.txt, and every three lines of the file has a last name, first name, and yard size. Every time a Customer object is created, I need to read the file 3 lines and assign the object a last name, first name, and yard size.
Snippet of my code:
import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class Customer { private String lastName; private String firstName; private int yardSize;

My issue is that I cannot call readFile() from the constructor, and I'm assuming that's because I throw Exception on readFile(). Is this a simple fix, or am I looking at it the wrong way?
I hope I'm putting this question in the right folder. I have an array of objects, and I have defined a setter for a variable in the object. When I call the setter, I get a NullPointerException. Here is the relevant code for the object.
public class Digit extends Thread { private int digit; public void setDigit(int digit) { this.digit = digit; } // run method follows }
Here is the portion of the main class where I define an array and then call the setter.
Digit[] digits = new Digit[10]; for (int i = 0; i < digits.length; i++) { digits[i].setDigit(i); // NullPointerException occurs here }
I'm trying to call the grade.processFile method from the main method but I'm getting this Error below. I'll post my code which includes the main method and the class underneath the error message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.jav a:130) at java.util.Scanner.<init>(Scanner.java:611) at MyGrades.processFile(MyGrades.java:49) at myGradesMain.main(myGradesMain.java:19) import java.util.Scanner; import java.io.*;
There is a method taken from a class with several try and catch blocks. If you think it is possible, add one more catch block to the code to catch all possible exceptions, otherwise say 'Not possible' with your reason.
i was reading my book when in a code,it used accept(),but it did'nt talk about it.would you explain to me where to use accept().(the chapter was about socket programming)
I wrote a program using switchcase.I used do while to show the menu to the user until the user decides to exit the menu.I used try catch to prevent ant exception and it worked properly.But i got one problem.When exception occurs,desired msg is printed but i am unable to display the menu to the user.So user wont be able to continue after an exception is caused.
I was giving a quick skim to some tutorials on the internet where I have found the exception that is handled is also declared in the throws clause of the method wrapping the try-catch block. For a code representation consider the following:
public void methodName() throws IOException { try { ... } catch (IOException ex) { .... TODO handle exception }
public class ThrowException { public static void main (String[] args) { var x=prompt("Enter a number between 0 and 10:",""); try { if (x>10){ throw "Err1"; } else if (x<0){ throw "Err2"; } else if (isNaN(x)){ throw "Err3"; } } catch(er){

It's telling me where catch(er) is: <identifier> expected..I've watched videos, but no one seems to encounter this error....am I missing a segment of code?
In the following piece of code Iam confused as to where the InputMismatchException in the catch block is thrown on the first place? Is the InputMismatchException thrown automatically with declaring to throw the exception?
import java.util.*;
public class InputMismatchExceptionDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); boolean continueInput = true;
Is it a best practice to return from try block or place return statement after try-catch when we intend to return a value from a method(* Catch block is being also used to rethrow the exception)??
So method invia call the method popolaScompiute, inside popolaScompiute there is an iteration through some id and for some id can occur an error; what i want is the getting the value of id in the first method invia, using the block try/catch. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Regarding return statements within methods. So I have a method containing try and catch block (as required) and much like when you have an if else statement... I noted you have to return an object for both the try and catch blocks. Now in my case my method should return a List object.
The way I have tried to overcome this:
- I've initialised a List object to null as an attribute of the class I'm working in. - Therefore in the catch block would just simply return the null List object, where as the try block would return the non-empty List (which is what I want). - I then just test to see if the List != null, when the method is invoked... and that is that.
However the method always seems to return null (when it shouldn't).
I've been assigned to write a program that will convert binary to decimal that uses the try/catch block. In the program that I have written, I was wondering if it is possible to write an addition catch statement that will present an error if any number other than a 0 or 1 is entered by the user. I have already done this in the binaryToDecimal method, but I am just messing around to see if it is, in fact, possible.
Java Code:
import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Scanner; public class BinaryToDecimal { public static void main(String[] args){ Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
So I'm pretty sure this is correct, as it follows most examples I can find online, but I keep getting an error that my return variable cannot be resolved. The error is on the return conn; statement. It says conn cannot be resolved. If I place it above within the try block it allows it but then I receive an error saying the method getDBConnection must return type Connection.
I don't want to create this method. Basically I want to connect to the database in the main program, but I do want methods that can access the DB too. But however I place it, it doesn't let me touch any of the DB variables outside of the Try block.
So method invia call the method popolaScompiute, inside popolaScompiute there is an iteraction through some id and for some id can occur an error; what i want is the getting the value of id in the first method invia, using the block try/catch. Is there a way to accomplish this?
