Exceptions

[mamidi venkat]

Hi All

What dose Ducked Exception means ??

If a method doesn�t provide a catch clause for a particular Exception that method is said to be ducking the exception .Means What ??
can any one explain me clearly Ducked Exception

"Ducked exceptions" That is not a common Java term.

Java has checked and unchecked exceptions, but not "ducked" exceptions.

Hi,
If a method is throwing(declare) any exception(checked ones) and is not catching(handle) it, that means its passing the exception thrown by it. It implies that the method has Ducked the exception. But some method down the call stack must handle it(catch it). Hope this clears it

Ducking is passing exceptions up the stack and not handling them. This should give you a clear idea...

    
 
public class Test {
 

public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
Test t = new Test();
// this will throw exception 
// but we ducked it up the stack
t.someMethod();
}

public void someMethod() throws Exception{
// throwing some exception for testing
// we declared that this method throws "Exception"
throw new Exception();
}
}
