   // execute application
   public static void main( String args[] )
   {  // call method1 
      try {
         method1();
      }
      // catch Exceptions thrown from method1
      catch ( Exception exception ) {
      System.err.println( exception.getMessage() + "\n" );
         exception.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
   // call method2; throw exceptions back to main
   public static void method1() throws Exception
   {
      method2();
   }
   // call method3; throw exceptions back to method1
   public static void method2() throws Exception
   {
      method3();
   }
   // throw Exception back to method2
   public static void method3() throws Exception
   {
      throw new Exception( "Exception thrown in method3" );
   }

Suppose you have a go first and then others can make suggestions.

ok............. ..i compiled it and i got this:


Exception thrown in method3

java.lang.Excep tion: Exception thrown in method3
at UsingExceptions .method3(UsingE xceptions.java: 27)
at UsingExceptions .method2(UsingE xceptions.java: 22)
at UsingExceptions .method1(UsingE xceptions.java: 17)
at UsingExceptions .main(UsingExce ptions.java:6)

so i just want to know what exactly is the exception...... .im not good at readiing them. And im suspecting that if i got this que in my exam i'd only have to say that the output is: Exception thrown in method3
wont I ??

thanks

When an exception is thrown, e.printStackTra ce() is called which traces the paths that led to the exception.
Your solution might or might not be correct depending on whether the stackTrace is being considered part of the program's output or not.
