Custom Exception Classes

[jonytek]

I am having trouble with creating my own custom Exception Classes. I have kind of got this one to work but im finding it will only pull up one error. I have to use the class, as is for the Exception class. I have written my own tester, thats where there is a problem. As soon as it finds one error it fails to move on and check for the next.

public class InvalidDataException extends Exception
{
	InvalidDataException(String ms)
	{
		super(ms);
	}
}

public class DateTester
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		String date = "01|42|3001";
		String[] temp = null;
		temp = date.split("|");

		try
		{
		int day = Integer.parseInt(temp[1] + temp[2]);
		DateTester.checkDay(day);
		int month = Integer.parseInt(temp[4] + temp[5]);
		DateTester.checkMonth(month);
		int year = Integer.parseInt(temp[7] + temp[8] + temp[9] + temp[10]);
		DateTester.checkYear(year);
		System.out.println(day + " " + month + " " + year);	
		}
		catch(NumberFormatException ex)
		{
			System.out.println("Sorry invalid numbers.");
		}
		catch(InvalidDataException ex)
		{
			System.out.println(ex);
		}
		
	

	}
	public static void checkDay(int day)throws InvalidDataException
	{
			if (day < 00 || day > 31)
			{
			throw new InvalidDataException("Invalid day");
			}
	}
	public static void checkMonth(int month)throws InvalidDataException
	{
			if (month < 00 || month > 12)
			{
			throw new InvalidDataException("Invalid month");
			}
	}
	public static void checkYear(int year)throws InvalidDataException
	{
			if (year > 2010 || year < 2000)
			{
			throw new InvalidDataException("Invalid year");
			}
	}
}

Your help is appreciated.

As soon as an exception is thrown inside the try/catch block then control moves to the catch part. That's how these things work.

So in your case, as soon as an exception is thrown then you print the exception and that's the end of your program.

If you want everything saved up, then you either stick try/catch around each check, or you somehow build up a list of errors which you then display at the end.
