How to prevent the program not to skip the process when exception is genera

Question

Hi, friends.
How to prevent the program not to skip the process when exception is generated?
For example, I am doing a process for 100 records. If the 15th record causes a Java Exception, I want to be able to skip it and continue processing the remaining 85 records.
How it is possible with Java Exception handling? Any sample code?
Thanks,
Jaykishan

while (there are more lines) {
  try {
    process the next line
  catch (...) {
    log the error

You'll want to be careful about which exceptions you catch though. For instance, if there's an unchecked exception, like NullPointerException, it's a sign of a bug in your code. Continuing to process as if that bug weren't there is often a worse approach than just failing. In this particular case, however, as long as you log the exception and then followup by fixing the bug that caused it, it may be acceptable to continue trying to process the rest of the file, even if some lines bring out a bug in your code.
