Sometimes exception is not catched

Question

I have a strange problem.
This is the code of the calling method:
String returnValue = null;
try {
   returnValue=myObject.myMethod()
catch (MyException ex) {
   returnValue="abc";
} This is the code of the called method:
public String myMethod throws MyException {
   if ( something ) {
      throws new myException()
}Sometimes I find the stack trace in the standard output as if the exception is not catched.
This makes me crazy.
Does somebody know what's going on ?

Answer 1

Are you using:
throws new myException();
or
throw new myException();
? There is a difference; "throw" actually creates the error, but "throws" just watches for one.
Hope this helps,
