Exception handling in static block

Question

How to handle and exception raised in static block, pls answer

Answer 1

Yeah, you are right, but I was just quoting the example on how to use it.
Now, come to your problem,
1. Static blocks are executed first time, when a class is loaded, i.e. when first reference of class is made.
2. So, handle the situation there.
E.g.
You have test class:
public class Test {
     static{
          try{
               String s = null;
               File f = new File(s);
          }catch(Throwable ne)
               System.out.println("Eror");
               throw new RuntimeException(); // Or use Error depends on your implementation
     public static void abc(){
          System.out.println("Hello");
Now,
calling it from another class:
public class Test1 {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try{
          Test.abc(); *// This is the first instance where class for Test will be load and hence the static block will be executed*
          }catch(Throwable th) // Or catch Error
               th.printStackTrace(); // Do the handling
          System.out.println("Done");
This is a standard practice. From static block, instead of throwing Error exception, use some of your inherited class from Error. (i.e. create a exception framework inside your application)
Hope this explains my point.
