Question

is it possible to write a thrown exception to a file without using try catch blocks?

for example

public static void method() throws Exception, SQLException{
    if(Exception is thrown){
        write Exception to out.txt;
        write SQLException to out.txt;
    }
}

or do you have to do:

public static void method(){
    try{
        ...
    }catch(Exception ex){
        write ex to file;
    }catch(SQLException sqlex){
        write sqlex to file;
    }
}

Answer 1

No.

public static void method() throws Exception, SQLException{
    if(Exception is thrown){
        write Exception to out.txt;
        write SQLException to out.txt;
    }
}

Where does the Exception come from?

Btw.: You never declare the most abstract exception Exception to be thrown. Some RuntimeExceptions can occur nearly everywhere (Nullpointer, OutOfMemory) so it is useless to declare them everywhere. It’s just noise.

public static void method() throws Exception, SQLException{
    try{
        ...
    }catch(Exception ex){
        write ex to file;
    }catch(SQLException sqlex){
        write sqlex to file;
    }
}

But if you catch it, you usually don’t throw, and therefore don’t declare at all to throw Exceptions.
