What's the necessity of the finally clause?

What's the difference between
*try{*
process1();
*catch(Exception e){*
process2();
*finally{*
process3();
And
*try{*
process1();
*catch(Exception e){*
process2();
process3();
?

"The finally block always executes when the try block exits. This ensures that the finally block is executed even if an unexpected exception occurs."

What is the final answer

I have lots of things on this site. So what is the final verdict. I have version 4.8.0.31. Do I need to upgrade in order for the music store to work? And if I do, will I lose any of my songs?

You have to be at version 4.9 or later to use the music store. So if you want to use it, update your iTunes software. Just be sure you back up your music and playlists(which you should be doing anyways).

Is the finally clause really necessary?

Please take a look at the following codes, and tell me if there is any difference:
//Code A
try
openConnection;
catch (Exception e)
finally
closeConnection;
//Code B
try
openConnection;
catch (Exception e)
closeConnection;

As a (slightly messy) example:
public void writeString(Object obj) throws SQLException {
Connection conn = getDbConnection();
try{
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
conn.executeUpdate("update tableX set fieldX='" + (String)obj + "'");
conn.commit();
} catch(SQLException e) {
conn.rollback();
throw e;
} finally {
closeDbConnection(conn);
If I pass in something other than a String to this method, what happens? A ClassCastException is thrown at runtime, and the finally block closes the connection regardless. Without the finally block, my database connection would remain open - imagine a tight, infinite loop of calls to this method passing in Integers rather than Strings - it would take seconds to tie up all available connections.
Also, even though I rethrow the SQLException I caught (allowing me to rollback the transaction and still find out what went wrong), the finally block still gets executed.
Even worse, if I'm performing several updates in a transaction, and something unexpected happens that I've not catered for with a finally block, I may get open connections and open table locks left over.

What is the final speed ?

Doies anyone know what BT repard as a fair final speed for a circuit that was said to be capable of 33.3MBps ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Basically your profile is your maximum download speed possible.
Your actual max throughput download speed might be a couple of Mb lower,
this should match or be higher than what you were quoted from BT.
It's slower due to the length of wire connecting you to the fibre cabinet.
Run the test at www.speedtester.bt.com to get your current profile.
You can copy and paste the text if you want to save it, or take a screenshot.

What about the final version of Gumbo?

Hi,
I'm using Flex Gumbo and several errors are ocurring. Like CSS Stylesheets and other strange problems.
That's a simple question. When we'll get the final or stable version of Flex Gumbo SDK? There's a prevision?
Thanks.

What are the FINAL CUT STUDIO capture presets using a "Blackmagic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card"

A S-VHS cable and a/v cables are connected to the breakout box.
What are the presets:
1) Sequence Preset?
2) Capture Preset?
3) Device Control Preset?
thanks

1) Sequence Preset?
2) Capture Preset?
3) Device Control Preset?
Is this realted to your other question? Don't post more than once, please. GEt it right the first time and then wait. Patiently.
1. Your sequence rpeset will be determined by the production's output taarget, it has nothing to do with the Balckmagic capture unless you alreday know what that will be. And you do, in fact, because VHS only comes in one way. When you bring your fist captured clip into a sequence, FCP7 will aks if you want to confrom the sequence to the clip's settings. Say yes. Done.
2. Your capture is going to be regular ol' DV. There's no reason to try to use any other advanced codec for VHS. But you probalby hsould have a time base corrector or frame sync in the loop to help correct and stabilize ancient tapes. Your preset if NTSV DV
3. There is not control for a VHJS deck. So une unctrolled device.

What is the final say on Bluetooth functionality

Here are my experiences and problems:
My iPhone (I have a 3GS) pairs just fine with my 220Plantronics headset.
My iPhone and PC can be paired/recognized, but the phone fails to maintain a connection.
What happens is...
The first iPhone I tried would not even establish this nanosecond-long connection. When I talked to an APPLE customer service rep about my connection issues (and issues with missed calls), THEY were the ones to tell me my phone seemed to have a hardware problem, and they sent me a brand new replacement phone. With the 2nd phone, my computer will give me an error message telling me that my phone cannot be connected for some reason, YET at the very same second I will get a popup notification saying "Bluetooth Local Area Network Connected". My phone says "Not connected", and when I open the window for Bluetooth connections, everything is zeros and it's not actually connected.
What perplexes me is what is the REAL story behind the Bluetooth problems? I have done my share of reading and I have read lots of information saying that the current phone (hardware or software possibly) & carrier (AT&T) limitations are preventing Bluetooth connection to anything other than a compatible headset. I had actually accepted this, (though very aggravated b/c this was one of the two big reasons for getting this phone) UNTIL I had other issues with my phone and I brought up the Bluetooth dissatisfaction and the tech guy TOLD ME THAT MY BLUETOOTH OUGHT TO WORK FOR FILE SHARING!
So which is it??? Did we all get a batch of "lemons" for Bluetooth that don't work properly, or is it an Operating Sys bug, or something else???
I just don't understand why a person from Apple would conclude something was defective with my phone when it seems much more likely that the Bluetooth is just designed to be "crippled" like everyone says?

Bluetooth is not crippled. There are 25+ different bluetooth protocols and not every device has every protocol possible.
The iPhone has bluetooth protocols for handsfree, headsets, A2DP and tethering when tethering is activated. It does not have the protocols for file sharing or pairing with a PC.

What is the Final Cut Studio Universal Crossgrade?

I got an e-mail with an offer to purchase a "Universal Crossgrade" to Final Cut Studio for $49, but I'm not clear about what this is.
I already own FC Studio. Does "Universal" mean that all of the components are now in a single app so there's no more "round tripping" between apps?
Does "Universal" refer to the fact that this is compatible with both Power Mac and Intel based machines?
I'm confused about about what's new in this latest version.
G5 dual 2.5 Mac OS X (10.3.5)
G5 dual 2.5 Mac OS X (10.3.5)

Mike,
The order form (http://images.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/pdf/Crossgrade.pdf) makes it look like you have to send in all 4 DVDs (Final Cut Studio, Motion 2, DVD Studio Pro and Soundtrack Pro).
This is the part that makes me a little squeamish. I haven't had any problems that require a re-install lately, but IF I DO before my new disks get here, I'm stuck. Also, what happens if I get the new version and there's a bug or something else about it that I don't like? Once again, I'm stuck.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

What is the final step in the Adobe Acrobat XI Install?

I have installed Adobe Acrobat XI and I see the directory on my desktop (That was the default location but I thought it odd). However it isn't fully installed because Reader is not an option when I try to open a PDF. What do I still need to do? I am using Windows 8.1 (new to me).

Hi barbiedell,
This may be a silly question, but did you run the installer after downloading Reader? (It may be the installer icon that you're seeing on your desktop.) If you did run the installer, try restarting your computer, and then see if Reader shows up in your list of installed programs.
Best,
Sara

Flickering green dots... What's the final answer?

Hi, I jgot in my 30" monitor 2 weeks ago, but ..waited to find on ebay an AGP video card. Spent far more than I should have to get it, and now have flickering green dots everywhere!
The screen is perfect when directly connected to the monitor. When I use a dual link DVI extension I get them. I've changed out the extension and still get them.
I tried all the tricks I could find... blowing out the connectors, taking off of sleep mode, changing number of recent items (I'm not sure what this refers to) from 0 to 10, going into and out of sleep mode, plugging and unplugging, changing resolution and display from 256 - 1000's and millions.....etc.
All in all, something fixed it once! Then they came back.
Frustrating. So... Is there a real answer?
I'd include a photo, but I'm not sure how to add this as an attachment?
I've put a link to my .mac account here:
http://homepage.mac.com/robertlemke/PhotoAlbum3.html
Thanks in advance!
Robert

OK, I think I solved the problem!
The extension I needed was a basic female - female Dual link DVI
Since I needed a male - female, the store sold me a gender converter. I have since bought a dedicated M/F dual link and it's working. I believe that even though I changed out the gender converter twice, it was just not up to carrying the bandwith needed for this type of signal.
The problem is now solved and Altex took back the extension and converter, no questions asked!
I bought the cable through a local mac dealer.
Good luck to all!

What is the final total cost for the Creative cloud membership for students? (

Cause it only says the amount I'm going to be paying per year
but it doesn't tell me how many years I'm going to be paying this for
I live in Korea so it says that my payment is 227,200 per year

There is no final total cost. It is subscription software.
If you want use the software, you keep paying your monthly fee.
When you stop paying, the software stops working.

Purpose of a finally clause ??

What is the purpose of a finally clause? Could you give a short example?

The finally clause is used in exception handling. To prevent a program from terminating abnormally, you use a try statement followed by a catch clause. The use of finally clause is that it executes no matter how many exceptions have been handled. Hence, it can be used to close opened files, disconnect from a database etc.
finally
file.Close();
}

Warning: finally clause cannot complete normally??

I, I just download SDK 1.4.2 and compiled my project. I'm receiving the following warning when compiling:
Warning: finally clause cannot complete normally??
The method in question follows:
public Session getJbossSession(){
Session session = null;
InitialContext context = getEntityFactory().getJbossContext();
     try {
     session = (Session)context.lookup("java:/Mail");
     } catch (NamingException e) {
     logger.error("NamingException while getting the Jboss Mail Session: " + e.getMessage());
     finally{
     logger.info("Session: " + session);
     return session;
What's wrong with it? I receive the same warning for many methods where I defined a finally clause. What didn't I understand about the finally clause?
Thanks,
Marco

For some reason the Apple ID window in iTunes and App Store now seems to have a character number constraint. As a result I am unable to enter the final few characters of my Apple ID which I have had for many years. Does anyone know what has caused this?

For some reason the Apple ID window in iTunes and App Store now seems to suddenly have a character number constraint which prevents me using my 29 character Apple ID. As a result I am unable to enter the final few characters of my Apple ID which I have had for many years. Does anyone know what has caused this?

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

What is the IDOC for Final Approval of PO

Hi,
Can any one tell me ..
1. what is the IDOC for Final Approval of Purchase Order?
2. Is there any Separate IDOCs for GRN(Goods Receipts
Note) in Transaction MIGO. Like Creation of GRN,
Changing of GRN, Cancelling of GRN, Transfering materials to Scrap or Cost center (Changing of Movement types in MIGO).
regards,
Khaja.

Khaja,
1. There is no separate IDOC for final approval of a PO. IF you have configured a release stratgey for a PO, the PO IDOC will be transmitted only upon the final apporval of the PO.
2. Yes there should be a IDOC for Goods Receipt.
Regards,
Ravi
