1 The first one that applies, of course.
2 Since a finally block is always executed, and is always executed last, what do you think?

[MarkWilson]

ok at first question i m asking
which catch stmt execute first , u say 1st one
but see if my code is
try
{
.... // database conn. logic
.
..}
catch(IOException e)
{
}
catch(SqlException e)
{
}
in this if i got some error during sql connectivity so catch(sqlException e) get call , am i right and wht abt 2nd one
this is my 1st Q?

now in 2. if i right system.exit(1) in try blk thn aslo my finally blk get executed . or some condition is there

plz reply

Like I said, the first one that applies. Did you get an IOException or an SQLException?

Well, think of the finally block as a door, you have to open it before you can leave, however, if you burn the house down while your still in it, will you still be able the door? Of course if you terminate the program it won't execute, as the program execution will never come to that point, since it will already have burned to the ground.

Hi,
I would like to answer your questions..

{

catch(Exception e)
{

When an exception is thrown it will check the 1st exception if the type doesnt match it will navigate to 2nd and so on untill it finds the correct type and if not found it will throw Exception and if it finds the correct type it wont check the other catch blocks.


You cant have a multiple finally block.There will be only one finally block for a try block.

The answer for this would be NO. Finally block will get executed for everything even if the try block has a return stmt but if it has system.exit() finally block wont get executed as that stmt would cause jvm to shut down.
