While inside try/catch...

I have this method:
private function rewriteQueue():void {
try{
    var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath( DATA_FILE_NAME );
    file.deleteFile();
   while (users.length) {
     var aUser:Object = users.shift();
     writeUser(aUser);
   }catch (e:Error) {
That doesn't work and I'm just not sure why. Putting the while outside of the try/catch fixes it... but why?

OK, I figured out why the problem was occurring. It happened when there was no file to delete - the deleteFile() failed - also causing the while to not execute. My bad.

Try catch inside try catch

Hello everybody !!
if i have:
try{
//some code
    try{
      //more code
   }catch(Exception e){
       //dosomething
//more coding
}catch(Exception es){
}if an Exception occurs inside the second try, why is it caught by the first try??

Not sure what you mean, this prints "inner" for me:
        try{
            try {
                throw new Exception();
            catch(Exception e) {
                System.out.println("inner");
        catch(Exception es) {
            System.out.println("outer");
        }

Error when using try catch inside oledb command to run stored procedure

Hi,
i'm using the below command to run some jobs using OLEDB Command
exec sp_start_job @job_name =?
and it runs successfully
when i put this code inside try catch block as below , it generates error and don't accept it
begin try
exec sp_start_job @job_name =?
end try
begin catch
end catch
the error message is "Syntax error, PErmission vaiolation or other nonspecific error"
do you know is there any problem using TRY catch insdie OLEDB command ?
Thanks ,
Ahmed Salah

Hi Ahmed,
According to your description, if an error raised that fails the package, then you want the package to continue execute.
To achieve this requirement, we can use Integration Services (SSIS) Event Handlers that we can create custom event handlers for an OnError event when an error occurs to continue processing rest of the package. For more details, please refer
to the following blog:
http://visakhm.blogspot.in/2013/03/error-handling-in-ssis-loops.html
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Can we have try/catch in a static block in a class?

hi All
i have a question about put a try/catch block in a static block in a class to catch exceptions that maybe thrown from using System.xxxx(). in my custom class, i have a static block to initialize some variables using System.xxx(). in case of any error/exception, i need to be able to catch it and let the caller know about it. i tried to put a try/catch block in the static block, and tried to rethrow the exception. but it is not allowed, how would i handle situation like this? thanks for your help and advise in advance.

You could just swallow the exception inside try/catch
block, and instead of throwing it out, just set a
static variable to allow checking from outside
whether the initialization succeeded, or check within
the constructor / methods of this class for
successful initialization, and throw the exception
then. You could even save that exception in a static
variable for later.Ouch, ouch, you're hurting my brain. This would allow someone to ignore a (presumably) fatal error. Throw a RuntimeException as indicated. You can wrap a checked exception in an unchecked one if need be.

Try/catching errors occuring in synchronous event handlers

Hi,
I know that using try/catch in flash player it is possible to catch only synchronous errors, but recently I ran into code in our application which I strongly believe is synchronous but it behaves as if it wasn't.
In example below I create event listener and inside try/catch I dispatch event. Handler function throws error. Executing code stops when error is thrown, so message "after throwing error" won't be logged, but try/catch block catches nothing and code executes as if nothing happened after event dispatch.
Dispatching event on element executes handler method immediately so it is synchronous execution. Event call stack which is displayed in debug versions of flash player, shows every function from creation of class to execution of handler.
Generally flash applications relays heavily on events and in my case it caused ours users projects to be irreversibly corrupted, because of this continuing to work after error, which I even can't properly detect and handle, cause it's going throught 5 or more event handlers and adding try/catch to each handler would create enormous chaos in my code. So my question is why does flash player behaves like this? Are there any ways to tell compiled SWF file to treat such cases as synchronous calls, f.e. compilation parameters?
package
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
    import flash.text.TextField;
    public class TestApp extends Sprite
        public var cTextField:TextField;
        public function TestApp()
            cTextField = new TextField();
            cTextField.width = 300;
            cTextField.height = 200;
            addChild(cTextField);
            onAppCreated();
        protected function onAppCreated():void
            var eventName:String = "my_event";
            var caughtError:Boolean = false;
            var dispatcher:EventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher();
            dispatcher.addEventListener(eventName, handler);
            try
                dispatcher.dispatchEvent(new Event(eventName));
            } catch (error:Error)
                caughtError = true;
            cTextField.text += caughtError ? "caught error\n" : "error wasn't caught\n";
        protected function handler(event:Event):void
            cTextField.text += "before throwing error\n";
            throw new Error("throw error");
            cTextField.text += "after throwing error\n";

Okay, nobody bit. Sorry.
The only way to really figure out what is going on is to look at a running example with a C++ debugger. I'm particularly curious about whether this problem happens in a specific browser/os combination (we may be working around a quirk of that platform), or if it's something that happens everywhere.
The most effective way to proceed is going to be to file a bug with a simplified, executable example (source and compiled SWF, ideally) that demonstrates the problem. This will help me route the bug to a developer and get you an answer in the shortest time possible.
You can file a bug here:

If you reply here with the bug number, I'll get it assigned to an engineer.
Thanks!

How to simulate a dml error in order to test try-catch code block inside a stored procedure

Hi,
What would be the easiest way to simulate a dml error in order to test a try catch block.
I would like to do it with a simple command from outside the stored procedure if possible.
I tried dropping the table that was updated but it hangs
Thanks,
Dani

Dropping the table that is the target of the procedure will give you an unpleasant surprise: the CATCH block will not fire. To wit, errors like missing tables can only be caught in outer scopes, but not in the procedure where the error occurs.
But you would add a fake constraint to a table which causes the update to fail. You need to do this in advance, not while running the procedure.

While local variable initialized inside try block compiler throws error???

Check out this code where two local variables(one String and the other int type) is declared at the beginning of the method and initialized inside try block. now when i compile this app, it gives an error sayin' that Variables not been initialized. Can anyone tell me why compiler is throwin' an error message?
Many thanks.
import java.io.*;
public class Test{
public static void main(String[] args){
String aa;

System.out.println("EnterAnything:");
try{
aa = in.readLine();
c = 1;
catch(IOException e){
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
System.out.println(aa);
System.out.println(c);
}

jfbriere,
Thanks to u all.
that every reference to the variable is necessarily preceded
by execution of an assignment
to the variable.But I've initialized the variable c and aa inside try block before referencing it as a parameter of println()?
Can u clarify this?

Try catch problem in a while loop

I have computerGuess set to -1 and that starts the while loop.
but I need to catch exceptions that the user doesnt enter a string or anything other than a number between 1 and 1000.
but computerGuess is an int so that the while loop will start and I wanted to reset computerGuess from the user input using nextInt().
The problem is if I want to catch exceptions I have to take a string and parse it.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Game {
     //initiate variables
     String computerStart = "yes";
     String correct = "correct";
     String playerStart = "no";
     int computerGuess = 500;
public void Start()
     //setup scanner
     Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
     int number = (int)(Math.random()*1001);
     System.out.println(welcome());
     String firstAnswer = input.nextLine();
     if(firstAnswer.equalsIgnoreCase(computerStart)== true)
          System.out.println(computerGuess());
          //while (userAnswer.equalsIgnoreCase(correct) == false){
               System.out.println();
     if(firstAnswer.equalsIgnoreCase(playerStart) == true)
          long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
          int currentGuess = -1;
          while (currentGuess != number){
          System.out.println(playerGuess());
          String guess = input.next();
          //currentGuess = Integer.parseInt(guess);
          if (currentGuess < number)
               System.out.println("too low");
          if (currentGuess > number)
               System.out.println("too high");
          if (currentGuess == number)
               long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
               System.out.println("Well done, the number is " + number);
          int i = -1;
          try {
            i = Integer.parseInt(guess);
               } catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
                    //System.out.println("Incorrect input, please try again.");
          if ( i < 0 || i > 1000 ) {
               System.out.println("Incorrect input, please try again.");
     private String computerGuess()
           String comGuess = ("The computer will guess your number.\n" +
                    "Please enter \"too high\", \"too low\" or \"correct\" accordingly.");
           return comGuess;
     private String welcome()
          String gameWelcome = "Welcome to the guessing game \n" +
                                    "The objective is to guess a number between 1 and 1000.\n" +
                                    "You can guess the computer's number or it can guess your's.\n" +
                                    "You may enter \"quit\" at any time to exit.\n" +
                                    "Would you like the computer to do the guessing?";
          return gameWelcome;
     private String playerGuess()
          String playerWillGuess = "Guess a number between 1 and 1000.";
          return playerWillGuess;
}The catch works , but because computerGuess is int -1 so that the while loop will run, I cannot use the input to change computerGuess because it is a string.

the i was a mistake. and i commented on the other code, because it wasnt working at that moment. I need help understanding the try catch method.
I want to catch any input that isn't an integer , and I would also like to catch any input that isn't a string at other parts of my program.

While, try/catch and continue

Hello,
i've got a while-loop which executes some statements. some of them are within a try-catch block.
imagine like this:
while (channelsIT.hasNext()) {
   RSSChannel channel = channelsIT.next();
   RSSChannelReader reader = new RSSChannelReader(channel.getStrRSSUrl());
   try {
      reader.connect();
   } catch (Exception e) {
      log.error("Fehler beim Lesen eines RSS-Channels", e);
      continue;
   Collection items = reader.getChannelItems();
}As you may see, it makes no sense in this case to continue the loop after reader.connect() failed. for that, I tried to use the continue statement, but the code interrupts after the logging and the application failes.
the workaround is to put all the code of the while loop into the try-block, but for that seems to be a bad solution.
while (channelsIT.hasNext()) {
   RSSChannel channel = channelsIT.next();
   RSSChannelReader reader = new RSSChannelReader(channel.getStrRSSUrl());
   try {
      reader.connect();
      Collection items = reader.getChannelItems();
   } catch (Exception e) {
      log.error("Fehler beim Lesen eines RSS-Channels", e);
      continue;
}so why does my first code not work properly?
Thank you for any suggestions.

Then I misunderstood you.
public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
    int i = -1;
    while (i < 10) {
      int j = i % 2;
      i++;
      try {
        System.out.print(i / j);
      } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println(i + " skipped");
        continue;
      System.out.println(" - after");
}This writes "after" if there's no exception and skipped if there is one:
0 - after
1 skipped
2 - after
3 skipped
4 - after
5 skipped
6 - after
7 skipped
8 - after
9 skipped
10 - after
So it behaves exactly as you want it to, and so should your first code. Is it the exact code you posted, including "catch (Exception"?

Exit inside a try-catch

Hello,
If I use the exit command in a try-catch section, will it execute the associated finally block?
Thanks.

Hello,
If I use the exit command in a try-catch section,
will it execute the associated finally block?
Thanks.No. That would be the only way to exit a try block without executing the finally block.
That, and unplugging the machine during the execution of the try block...

Try/catch and 'cannot resolve symbol'

I am relatively new to java programming and something has me puzzled...
Why do I get a 'cannot resolve symbol' message when I include a variable definition in a try/catch section. When I put it/them before the 'try' statement it compiles as expected. How are statements inside a try compiled differently than those outside?
try {
    StringBuffer pageBuffer = new StringBuffer();
    String inputLine;
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
       new InputStreamReader( theURL.openStream() ) );
    while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
         System.out.println(inputLine);
        pageBuffer.append(inputLine);
    in.close();
} catch (Exception ignored) {}C:\Projects\WebExplorer\PageVisitor.java:142: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : variable pageBuffer
location: class PageVisitor
     return pageBuffer.toString();
Paul

A try block is just like any other block delimited by {...} in that all variables declared inside it are local to that block. I.e. they are not visible or usable anywhere outside it. Your pageBuffer variable, for example, is a local variable that can only be used inside the try-block in which it is declared.
Your obvious solution, knowing that, is to declare the variables outside the try and catch blocks. Remember to initialize them (even to null), otherwise the compiler will complain about variables that may not have been initialized.

Try-catch statment problems

I'm trying to understand the try-catch statements. I'm trying to verify that a number entered is only within a range of 1-3, otherwise get the input again. But I'm not grasping the try-catch statements very well, and my code isn't working correctly. It seems to just by pass the catch statement completely. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong with this?
          try {
               System.out.println("Enter the test number");
               testNumb = scan.nextInt();
               if(testNumb < 1 && testNumb > 3){
                    throw new Exception("Test Number not valid");
          catch(Exception e){
               System.out.println(e + "please enter a valid test (number between 1-3)\nEnter the test number");
               testNumb = scan.nextInt();
          }

I don't understand why its still crashing, when it should catch the InputMismatchException, and run the code INSIDE of the exception, which asks the user to enter the input again. It does ask the USER, but it still just crashes.
I've changed the method around so it is more like what post #8 said. But its still crashing, I'm not sure if its something specific I dont understand, or what.
     public static int studentTest(){
          Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
          boolean acceptable = false;
               while(!acceptable){
                    try {
                         System.out.println("Enter the test number");
                         testNumb = scan.nextInt();
                    catch(InputMismatchException ioe){
                         System.out.println("Test Number not valid, please enter a valid test (number between 1-3)\nEnter the test number");
                         testNumb = scan.nextInt();
                    if(testNumb < 1 || testNumb > 3){
                         System.out.println("Test Number not valid, please enter a valid test (number between 1-3)\nEnter the test number");
                         testNumb = scan.nextInt();
                    } else {
                         acceptable = true;
               return testNumb;
     }

Can't find class because of try catch block ?!

Hello,
I'm using the JNI to use a java library from my c++ code.
JNI can't find the "Comverse10" class below, but when i put the try catch block in createMessage in comment, FindClass succeeds ?!
Unfortunatly i need the code inside the try block ;-)
I tried a few things, but none of them worked:
- let createMessage throw the exception (public void createMessage throws ElementAlreadyExistsException ), so there isn't a try catch block in createMessage => result: the same
- make a "wrapper" class Comverse that has a Comverse10 object as attribute and just calls the corresponding Comverse10.function. Result: Comvers could be found, but not constructed (NewObject failed).
Can someone tell me what is going on ?!
Thank you,
Pieter.

I would guess that the real problem is that that the
exception you are catching is not in the class path
that you are defining.Thanks jschell, that was indeed the case.
I don't have the docs, but I would guess that
FindClass() only returns null if an exception is
thrown. And you are not checking for the exception.
Which would tell you the problem.Ok, i'll remember that. But what with exceptions thrown in my java code, the documents say
// jthrowable ExceptionOccurred(JNIEnv *env);
// Determines if an exception is being thrown. The exception stays being thrown until either the native code calls ExceptionClear(), or the Java code handles the exception
so, what if the java code throws an exception and catches it, will i be able to see that in my c++ code with ExceptionOccurred ?
or
should the java method be declared to throw the exception (and not catch it inside the method)
Again, thank you for your help, it's greatly appreciated !

RAISERROR with Try/Catch does not exit after exception in catch block

I am trying to propogate an error from within my proc out to the caller.
In the attached example I have 2 sets of try catch blocks.
I raiserror in the first
catch the error and then raiserror again. (I expect to exit)
I do not expect :
to get to print 'post test'
to get to second try block.
but this does not exit, instead the code flows as per 2 runs.
I do not understand the reason for the flows, as it seems counterintuitive to be raising an error but then still print following exceptions. I cannot seem to find any references that explains this behaviour.

There is a Connect that describes a similiar complaint. But basically a raiserror inside a catch block does not terminate the procedure, it will continue with any additional code in the CATCH and FINALLY unless it hits a return statement.

Return statement should put beyond try/catch clause??

The return statement should put beyond the try/catch clause, is that correct? Well,
I tried to put inside the try block, but it will have compile error though.
public String getValue()
     String value;
     try
     catch(...)
     return value;
please advise. thanks!!

When a method returns a value, you must make sure that even if an exception is thrown and caught a value will be returned (or just throw the exception out of the method).
You can put a return clause as the last thing in the try block and another return clause after the catch block (this is where we go if we catch an exception so you probably want to return null).

While inside try/catch...
