What is the problem about this code?

[JosAH]

A MyException extends an Exception which is a checked exception. You have to mention that fact in the start of your method: 'throws MyException'.

Also, that's not my idea of a chained exception...but hey ho.

Crosspost: Chained exception (Beginning Java forum at JavaRanch)

Please do not crosspost without notifying all threads of the crosspost. The problem is that you're asking unpaid volunteers to help you here, not paid consultants, and most of us mind if we take time away from work/lives/play to try to help someone only to find that we've provided a solution that was already provided in a cross-post hours ago. The proper thing to do is that if you feel you must cross-post, at least provide links in each cross-post to the other, so that folks don't waste time answering something already answered and so that folks can review all discussions that have already occurred.

[JosAH]

hey ho.

Hey ho? As in "hey ho, hey ho, it's off to work we go!" or as in "ho ho ho!". In both cases that's silly because your name isn't one of Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy or Dopey; in the other case, it's August for pete's sake!

kind regards,

Jos ;-)

It was the answer for me!

I was rather tired yesterday, so Sleepy wouldn't have been far off.

As for "ho ho ho", I bet they'll be promoting stuff for Christmas before long!

getcause must return the main exception that cause the exception. But it does not in this code.why?

[JosAH]

getcause must return the main exception that cause the exception. But it does not in this code.why?

The obvious question is: what does it return?

kind regards,

Jos

[simorgh]

It returns null

[JosAH]

It returns null

That figures; show us the constructors of your MyException class; I bet that they don't pass on the 'cause' exception to their superclass constructors ...

kind regards,

Jos

[simorgh]

hey jo!

Now may you give me example in order to show me how to change that class to work?

[JosAH]

hey jo!

Now may you give me example in order to show me how to change that class to work?

First you show us the constructor(s) of your exception class and I'll show you the mistake you made.

On second thought: forget about it because your question has been answered (several times!) in your crosspost in the JavaRanch forum.

kind regards,

Jos

[simorgh]

All right jo!

This is complete code:

public class ExceptionDemo
 {
     int i;

     public ExceptionDemo(int i)
     {
         this.i = i;
    }//end constructor

  void divideByZero()throws ArithmeticException  {
      if(i==0)
          throw new ArithmeticException("zero divide error");
      System.out.println(12 / i);
    }//end divide . . .

public class Myexception extends Exception {
    [B]public Myexception(String s, Exception e){
        System.out.println(s);
        
    }[/B]

}

import java.lang.String;
import java.lang.Exception;
/**

public class Main {

      public static void main(String[] args) {
           try{
               ExceptionDemo ed = new ExceptionDemo(0);
               ed.divideByZero();
           }
         
           catch (ArithmeticException a){
              try{
              System.out.println("zero divide error");
              throw new Myexception("Chained Exception",a );
              }
              catch(Myexception ex){  
              System.out.println("catched checked exception");
              System.out.println ( "Cause is:\n" + ex.getCause()  ) ;
              
             } 
           }
         
     }
    }

Constructor is bold, Now what is the next stage?

[Norm]

don't pass on the 'cause' exception to their superclass constructors ...

from post#11

[JosAH]

Constructor is bold, Now what is the next stage?

That answer has been given to you in your other crossposted thread on the JavaRanch forum; I am not going to repeat it here. All you have to do is read those answers.

kind regards,
