Exception Handling in JAVA 5

Exception Handling in JAVA 5

Java finally block

Java finally block is a block that is used to execute important code such as closing connection, stream etc.

Java finally block is always executed whether exception is handled or not and appears at the end of try or catch block.

Example demonstrating finally Clause

Class ExceptionTest
{
 public static void main(String[] args)
 {
  int a[]= new int[2];
  System.out.println("out of try");
  try 
  {
   System.out.println("Access invalid element"+ a[3]);
   /* the above statement will throw ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException */
  }
  finally 
  {
   System.out.println("finally is always executed.");
  }
 }
}

Output :
Out of try
finally is always executed.

Exception in thread main java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException: 3

NOTE : For each try block there can be zero or more catch blocks, but only one finally block.

Note: The finally block will not be executed if program exits(either by calling System.exit() or by causing a fatal error that causes the process to abort).
