Question

Hi my code is generating an arrayoutofbound exception which is caught in the code but code terminates abruptly.I want the code to continue. Should an arrayoutofboundexception be caught by Exception or am i doing something wrong, please help catching the error .Exception is expected.Below is the code:-

try{
    CsgLogin=Ldap.getdomain(requesterLoginId);//This returns domain\usernmae
    LoginIDArray = CsgLogin.split("\\\\");
    requesterLoginId = LoginIDArray[1]; //Exception generated here

} catch(Exception e) {
    System.out.println("Error in the GLDAP lookup or error in Domain Mapping");
    e.printStackTrace();
}

output:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1
        at com.cs.ws.LdapConnect.getdomain(LdapConnect.java:131)

Answer 1

The ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is being caught: you can tell by the fact that your message Error in the GLDAP lookup or error in Domain Mapping is printed. The first block that you are seeing is just what printStackTrace() produces.

The two aren’t in order because one is printing to the standard output stream and the other is printing to the standard error stream.

The exception that is uncaught is the StringIndexOutOfBoundsException that is printed under your message.
