Cases in Finally block doesn't get executed.

[vicky Aggarwal]

Are there other cases in which finally doesn't execute rather than
1 System.stop();
2 Stoping thread from outside the block.

[Seetharaman Venkatasamy]

System.stop() or System.exit()?

anyway look at this thread : https://coderanch.com/t/409527/java/java/finally-code-not-executed

here is the example for peter statement:

class RunnableImpl implements Runnable
{

	@Override
	public void run() {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		try
		{
			System.out.println("daemon thread....");
			Thread.sleep(4000);
		}
		catch(Exception e)
		{
			System.out.println("exception......"+e);
		}
		finally
		{
			System.out.println("daemon finally......");
		}
	}
	
}

public class Test
{ 
	
	
	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
		try
		{
			
			Thread t = new Thread(new RunnableImpl());
			t.setDaemon(true);
			t.start();
			System.out.println("main>>>>");
			
		}
		catch(Exception ex)
		{
			ex.printStackTrace();
			System.out.println("catch>>>>");
		}
		finally
		{
			System.out.println("main finally.......");
		}
		
	}	
	
}

Ok, how about this...someone is trying to steal $100 million from the Bellagio, and they set off an EMP?

Not seen that film, I am afraid.

There's always the good old infinite loop:

try {
  while(true) {
    // Do nothing
    // Can't be interrupted by Thread.interrupt
  }
} finally {
  System.out.println("You will never see this");
}

If we read the words then this is true, but anyway, that was not he's asking...

[Mike Simmons]

I don't think we really know what he meant asking. An infinite loop is a perfectly valid answer to what he did ask. And it may very well be what he wanted, as well.

Other possibilities include thread deadlock, and reading from a socket input stream which is never written to (and has no timeout). Or attempting to solve a problem whose computational complexity requires more than the age of the universe to solve. Or for that matter, Thread.sleep(Integer.MAX_INTEGER) is long enough for most purposes.

I am sure i was not asking this, because i never thought of such scenarios. :D
But it always gud to know new things.

Thank you all for your inputs. :beerchug:

[Mike Simmons]

Which is strange, since it looks like the whole point of your question was to learn about things you hadn't thought of already.

[Greg Reeder]

if this code is written;

try{
     getInfoFromDB();
     if (this == true){
          throw new Exception();
     }
} catch (SQLException e) {
} finally {
System.out.println("Will you see me?");
}

will that finally statement be reached due to throwing a new exception?

[Rob Spoor]

Why don't you try it yourself?

[Greg Reeder]

Well I'll be , you do. Shoulda tried that before hand.
