Exception is not caught in the catch.

Question

Hi,
In my application an exception is thrown but it doesn get caught in the inner catch but at the outermost catch.
809 throw Exception("Cannot Assign", 1120,)
(dbx) next
dbx: warning: can't find symbolic information for thrown type (missing N_LSYM/YR stab?)
dbx: warning: can't find symbolic information for thrown type (missing N_LSYM/YR stab?)
t@3 (l@3) exception will transfer flow to or past '_ex_debug_handshake1'
Use step or next to get to the catch location

0xfb794a3c: __exdbg_notify_of_throw : retl
dbx: warning: can't find symbolic information for thrown type (missing N_LSYM/YR stab?)
(dbx) where
current thread: t@3
=>[1] SelectionImpl::AssignCart(this = 0x4ab9f8, cart = CLASS), line 809 in "RouteImpl.cpp"
[2] Selection::AssignCart(this = 0x556de8, cart = CLASS), line 477 in "Route.cpp"

[6] CaseIF::acceptCart(this = 0x472f40, cartNbr = 0x4c66b8 "00010", error = CLASS), line 515 in "CaseIF.cpp"
AssignCart throws an exception which should get caught in CaseBase::AssignCart instead it gets caught in the catch block of CaseIF::acceptCart.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks,

Exceptions/Errors are thrown and catch the same for static and non-static methods.
You cannot have fields or methods which are "outside" a class.
The only thing "outside" a class is a package, AFAIK.
The reason your exception is going to the console if because the exception is not being caught.
So is there anyway I can catch this exception and do a gracefully exit using the a static method?You need to place a try catch for this exception. Have a look at the stack trace to see where you could place this to catch the exception.
