clarification with SkipPageException

[Deepaks Deshpande]

Hey Guys,

I am doing SimpleTag example and i am stuck up with the SkipPageException. Please help me out with the this.

1.   package org.taghandler;
2. 
3. 
4.   import java.io.IOException;
5. 
6.   import javax.servlet.jsp.*;
7.   import javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.*;
8. 
9.   public class SkipPageException extends SimpleTagSupport {
10.	
11.	public void doTag() throws JspException, IOException {
12.		getJspContext().getOut().println("Message from within doTag()....");
13.		getJspContext().getOut().println("About to throw a SkipPageException...");
14.		try{
15.			throw new SkipPageException();
16.		}catch (SkipPageException spe) {
17.			// TODO: handle exception
18.			System.out.println("Caught the SkipPageException ...");
19.		}
20.	}
21. }

I am getting the following errors on line no.15 and line no. 16.

No exception of type SkipPageException can be thrown; an exception type must be a subclass of Throwable

Thanks,
Deepak.

Hi,

The problem is that your class has the same name as the exception you want to test.

Actually which class should be at line 15: javax.servlet.jsp.SkipPageException or org.taghandler.SkipPageException?

Thanks it was a silly mistake but a grave one
