Java Exception Handling Tutorial-2
Advanced Exception Handling in Java Tutorial with Example Programs
This post is in continuation of the previous Java Exception Handling Tutorial. After reading the previous post, the basic concept of using try and catch block should be clear. The other thing that is to be noted in context of using try and catch block is that try block can not exist alone, it must be followed by at least one catch block or finally block. The next step that you should learn about is the nesting of try blocks.Nesting Try Blocks
The try statement can be nested. That is, a try statement can be inside the block of another try. Each time a try statement is entered, the context of that exception is pushed on the stack. If an inner try statement does not have a catch handler for a particular exception, the stack is unwound and the next try statement's catch handlers are inspected for a match. This continues until one of the catch statements succeeds, or until all of the nested try statements are exhausted. If no catch statement matches, then the Java run-time system will handle the exception.Below example program demonstates how the nesting of try blocks work in Java exception handling.
