Exceptions, Threads, and Garbage Collectors - Java for COBOL Programmers - page 224

// Some code that may cause a method to create an exception:
TextMessage myTextMessage = new TextMessage;
myTextMessage.getTranslation ();
// Some more code, which will execute if no exception has been created:
System.out.println ("No exception " +
myTextMessage.getmMsgText() );
}
// The exception handler logic.
// This will execute only if getTranslate() creates an exception of type
// NoDatabaseAvailableException.
System.out.println (e.getMessage() );
}
Statements inside the try code block will stop executing as soon as an exception
is created. If no exceptions are created, or if your class has caught and handled the ex-
ception, your class will continue with the statement after the try...catch code block.
Your class can handle multiple exceptions that may be created by statements in
the try code block simply by adding an additional catch code block after some
other catch code block.
try {
...
}
catch (NoDatabaseAvailableException e){
...
}
catch (IOException e){
// The exception handler logic for all other I/O conditions.
