Exception Declaration and the Public Interface

What is the connection between a method , exception declaration ( throw ) and public interface. Does every method has an implicit public interface ?? Is list of thrown exceptions, part of a method’s public interface ?

So, how do we know that some method throws an exception that we have to catch?Via the throws clause.
[http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/index.html]
Just as a method must specify what type and how many arguments it accepts and
what is returned, the exceptions that a method can throw must be declared (unless the
exceptions are subclasses of RuntimeException). Also those that are subclasses of Error need not be declared.
The list of thrown exceptions
is part of a method’s public interface.Ah, now I see what you mean. Where did you read that? I don't recall having ever heard the phrase "public interface" used like that.
The above paragraph is from the book, Osborne_Java, written by James Kussow.. Ok.
Can anybody explain me the 4th line in the above paragraph, starting from "The list of thrown exceptions ... "
The list of thrown exceptions is part of a method’s public interface.
The throws keyword is used as follows to list the exceptions that a method can throw:What part do you not understand? Read the tutorial I linked, and if something is still not clear, ask your specific question.
Personally I think the phrase "public interface" is misleading here. If that's what you're hung up on, don't be. It doesn't mean "public" in the sense of Java's "public" access modifier. It just means the list of exceptions is part of what callers of the method know about it.
EDIT: Oops. Too late.

  • How can I get a file to copy all of the files in a directory except itself and the source of the copy function will be the directory the final program is in?

    How can I get a file to copy all of the files in a directory except itself and the source of the copy function will be the directory the final program is in? This application must be in Lab View 8.

    you mean something like this (see below)?
    Now you may have to implement code to check if the destination folder exists and to create it, etc.  But if you use the Front Panel Control to select the destination folder, it should be okay.
    Not the best implementation, mind you but you'll get the idea..

  • Hello! Prompt, if after the arrival in other country to get local SIM a card and to insert it in iPhone, it thus will change the options and the language interface?

    Hello! Prompt, if after the arrival in other country to get local SIM a card and to insert it in iPhone, it thus will change the options and the language interface?

    It should automatically ajust but you may not be able to use it if the country you're going to uses a different network service. The two main services are CDMA and GSM. iPhone 4S can connect to both, but iPhone 4's come in separate CDMA and GSM models. USA, China, Egypt and some other countries use CDMA so if you bought your iPhone from one of these countries, it will not work in most European countries or Australia because they use GSM

  • Overuse of Exceptions? (and the resulting performance)

    I seem to have developed the bad habit of putting way too many exceptions. I've read somewhere that, especially on Mobile, misuse of exceptions can cause significant performance decrease. Is this true?
    Basically, I have a certain hierarchy of functions and when in the lower functions I may be doing a try-catch , the result of which throws the exception upward. Like this:
    void topFunction(){
        try{middleFunction();}
        catch(Exception e){System.out.println("Error " + e);}
    void middleFunction() throws Exception{
       lowerFunction();
    void lowerFunction () throws Exception{
        try{ //something }
        catch(Exception e){throw new Exception("in lowerFunction:"+ e);}
    }Is this horribly wrong? I'm trying to create a kind of custom stack trace, I guess, but I suppose if this is a bad idea I can remove it. I've noticed that a large majority of my functions use "throws Exception" and I'd very much like to know how more experience developers implement graceful error handling otherwise.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Not a very timely answer, however I had a similar problem and found this solution in case anyone else needs to do this.
    Set the system property: sun.awt.exception.handler to the full name of
    your own class defines as follows:
    public class MyAWTExceptionHandler {
       public MyAWTExceptionHandler() {}
       public void handle(Throwable t) {
          // do whatever you like with the exception here...
          t.printStackTrace();

    I am having a problem moving files from an imac in one location to an imac inanother location.  I have tried using Dropbox which is installed in both locations but when i drad a file ino yhe app it becomes an alias.  When I get to the other location it says I can't open the file because the " original application that created it is not present".  This is despite the fact that the app that created both files is installed in both computers.  If I use the Public folder in the idisc, when I get to the other location the file isn't there.  Am I forgetting to turn something on or off?  Should I manually sync the Public folder and if so how?

  • Appv 4.6 SP3 and the Metro Interface.

    Hello forum,
    I am about to deploy App-V 4.6 SP3 clients to Windows 8.1 workstations.  I am unable for commercial and logistical reasons to trade up to App-V 5.  
    Does anyone have any resources or guidance documentation on how to delivery application to Windows 8.1 workstations and manipulate the Metro interface?  As in creating tiles when the application is delivered and removing them if revoked.
    Thanks for any assistance that can be provided.
    regards
    Graham Clarke

    There shouldn't be any problem at all. As Windows uses the user's start menu as a source for icons, it should work.
    Remember that win 8.1 does not show new tiles automatically, but they have to be added from the lsit of availabe applications. http://stealthpuppy.com/customize-the-windows-default-profile/ talks

  • How to internationalize BPM Notifications and the User Interfaces ?

    Hi masters.
    Could anyone say me the better way to internationalize, translate the texts of the BPM Notifications and Adobe Forms and WebDynpro user interfaces ?

    Hi Lehcim,
    Have a look at the src\bpmn folder of your process. For example if your process is called demoprocess, you'll find demoprocess.bpmn.xlf file there.
    If you open that file it should be opened with the S2X editor. Have a look at the Resource Text Tab, you'll find all the texts of your process there. That means e.g. Activity names etc. but also the Texts you have used in your Notification activities.
    Internationalisation works now like the aforementioned WebDynpro internationalisation.
    In short terms: you copy the xlf file, add the iso language code (e.b. demoprocess.bpmn_de.xlf), then open the new xlf file and translate the texts.
    Just post again if my explanation wasn't clear enough.
    Cheers, Marcel

  • Is it possible to allow ICMP ping responce on the public interface for WRT54G?

    Hi I need to remotely monitor a WRT45G from a remote host on the Internet. As such, I want to allow ICMP ping replies on the public Internet interface. However, I have found no feature to allow me to do this. Similar Netgear devices do allow this feature. I suspect the answer is, "you can't do that".

    Yes this is possible. I just managed it on a WRT54GL.
    On the routers default configuration page: 192.168.1.1 (or whatever you set it to) select the Security-tab, click sub-tab Firewall, uncheck the box next to "Block Anonymous Internet Requests", save settings. - I guess there's a risk involved, but it works.

  • Installing Logic and the audio interface

    I will finish reading all the manuals one day soon… but meanwhile, and because I haven’t found anything on the subject yet, can anyone please tell me if I should I install Logic first and then install the Audio Interface (MOTU 828 Mk3), or should it be the other way around? Or is it of any difference??
    (I know with Cubase u must install the Audio interface first – but that’s a totally different scenario)
    Thanks

    Install both, in whichever order you prefer, then restart and configure *Audio MIDI Setup*, and/or any dedicated MOTU software (drivers, control panel) and Logic (audio and MIDI preferences/settings).

  • LRCC/LR6 Touchscreen issues in both the new "touch interface" and the standard interface.

    Currently there is no way to add local adjustments via a touchscreen (Acer R7, Windows 8.1). With the new features added for touch the only things that happens when I touch or swipe on the photo are setting flags, zooming, and advancing to the next photo.This is the same behavior whether I'm in the new touch interface or the standard one. I had no issues adding or editing graduated filters, radial filters, adjustment brushes, etc with the touchscreen in Lightroom 5. Also touch doesn't register within the tone curve.

    Yes, Adobe, please fix this!!!
    I have a 27" touchscreen monitor and previously had no problem applying brush adjustments in LR5 by applying my finger onto the screen, thereby giving me enhanced accuracy.  Suddenly, with LR6/LRCC, the same action yields the virtually useless result of advancing to the next image. 
    This is exceptionally stupid!

  • Constant declaration and the optimizer

    Assume there is a Plsql package A with a defined constant 'constA'
    Assume we have an sql query in PLSQL package B that references A.constA.
    Will the optimizer always give the same plan for the query whether I used the literal constant or the reference A.constA?
    I assume that replacement of references to A.constA would have to be don't before the optimizer begins it's evaluation. I assume that does not happen; therefore, using A.constA has prevented the optimizer from using the statistics on the table.
    Ie. It is true that use of literals may provide better performance than references to declared constants.

    Hi,
    Will the optimizer always give the same plan for the query whether I used the literal constant or the reference A.constA?Assuming bind peeking is not turned off and all other parameters influencing CBO are the same - yes.
    "The same plan" in this context means not "the same piece of memory in library cache", but "the same execution path", because query with literal and a constant will result in different SQL queries, hence different shareable parent cursors.
    It is true that use of literals may provide better performance than references to declared constants.Yes. If you have a constant to use in SQL, then it's better to use it as a literal rather than bind (using a PL/SQL constant in a query results in using bind variable - but maybe that behavior will be changed sometime).
    The main issue with using binds for constant is a case you use several constants for exactly the same query and there's data skew. CBO is not doing well with that until 11g (which introduced adaptive cursor sharing).

  • Public Interface not responding after second node is started in the cluster

    Hi
    Has anyone ever experienced the public interface not responding between nodes in the cluster (ping, ssh, scp) after the second nodeapps is started in the cluster?
    This is a new install so all I have installed so far is the base release of CRS 10.2.0. This is on Solaris10. The vipca failed during the installation, however I was able to proceed and manually add the nodeapps using srvctl add nodeaps -n -o -A.
    It seems after the second node is started I loose all connectivity to the public interfaces and to my default gateway.
    Also I'm getting the following messages sometimes after I try and stop the nodeapps and start them back up.
    CRS-1006: No more members to consider
    CRS-0215: Could not start resource 'ora.node1.vip'.
    Any suggestions on where I should start troubleshooting?
    Thanks

    Do you have default GW?
    It can connects with GW, can't it?
    Check metalink
    CRS-0215: Could not start resource 'ora..vip' [ID 356535.1]

  • 2 Public Interfaces and NAT

    Hello-
    We currently have NW6 running BM3.7 set up with 1 public interface and 1
    private interface. Our private interface is 10.1.1.1 and we are NATing
    that to our public interface. We are using HTTP proxy services for all our
    internet browsing---proxy being the 10.1.1.1 address. The public interface
    is on a state WAN link and we are using it for internet browsing, email,
    citrix and other state applications. We want to offload our email,
    internet and citrix traffic onto another public intrface--which is
    provided by a different ISP. I know what I need to do to change over the
    email to the new ipaddress on the new interface. How do I set up BM to
    route internet traffic to the new public interface? Also how do I make
    sure that my citrix traffic is routed to the new interface as well? Any
    help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks all in advance!

    You cannot arbitrarily send some type of traffic to one NIC, and the
    rest to another. The outbound traffic will follow the default route.
    You can have some limited control by using static routing to force
    traffic to certain addresses out one NIC, but that tends to be useful
    mostly with S2S VPN dedicated links.
    You can also enable dynamic NAT on the LAN side of one of your internet
    routers, and make reply traffic to inbound traffic from that link go
    back the way it came in.
