Java Exception propagation

« Prev Next »

If an exception occurs in the protected code, the exception is thrown from the top of the stack. If not caught then it drops down to the previous method. This continues until the exception either is caught or until they reach the very bottom of the call stack. This process is known as Exception propagation.

Example

class ExceptionPro{
    void a(){  
            int data=1/0;  
    }  
    void b(){  
        a();  
    }  
    void c(){  
        try{  
            b();  
        }catch(ArithmeticException e){
            System.out.println("Exception handled");
        }  
    }    
}
public class ExceptionPropagation{  
    public static void main(String args[]){  
        ExceptionPro ep=new ExceptionPro();  
        ep.c();  
        System.out.println("Code running normal flow");  
    }  
}
