About JDBC and JNDI

Question

in my Program i wrote :
public class Connect {
String stat = "Not Connected";
public void init()
try {
Context ctx= new InitialContext();
     if(ctx == null)
          throw new Exception("no Context");
          DataSource ds =(DataSource)ctx.lookup
("java:comp/env/jdbc/BooksDB");
     if(ds != null)
                         Connection conn= ds.getConnection();
          if (conn !=null)
So, when i run this program i get the following error message:
unreachable statement:
DataSource ds =(DataSource)ctx.lookup
("java:comp/env/jdbc/BooksDB");
Can anybody pls tell me why i am getting this error and how can i solve it.

Answer 1

     throw new Exception("no Context");
rce ds =(DataSource)ctx.lookup
"java:comp/env/jdbc/BooksDB");When you throw the excpetion, the line following will be bypassed so it can never be reached!
