Chained Exception

The document provides three examples of chained exceptions in Java. In the first example, a NullPointerException is created and an ArithmeticException is added as the cause before throwing the NullPointerException. The second example demonstrates creating a NumberFormatException and setting a NullPointerException as the cause before throwing it. The third example shows chaining a RuntimeException caused by an ArithmeticException by catching the ArithmeticException and rethrowing a RuntimeException with the original exception set as the cause.

Chained Exceptions

Example 1:
class ChainExcDemo
{
static void demoproc()
{
// create an exception
NullPointerException e =new NullPointerException("top layer");
// add a cause
e.initCause(new ArithmeticException("cause"));
throw e;
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
try
{
demoproc();
} catch(NullPointerException e)
{
// display top level exception
System.out.println("Caught: " + e);
// display cause exception
System.out.println("Original cause: " +
e.getCause());
}
}
}

OUTPUT:
Caught: java.lang.NullPointerException: top layer
Original cause: java.lang.ArithmeticException: cause
2.Java program to demonstrate working of chained exceptions
public class ExceptionHandling
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
// Creating an exception
NumberFormatException ex =new NumberFormatException("Exception");
// Setting a cause of the exception
ex.initCause(new NullPointerException("This is actual cause of the
exception"));
// Throwing an exception with cause.
throw ex;
}
catch(NumberFormatException ex)
{
// displaying the exception
System.out.println(ex);
// Getting the actual cause of the exception
System.out.println(ex.getCause());
}
}
}

OutPut:
java.lang.NumberFormatException: Exception
java.lang.NullPointerException: This is actual cause of the exception

3. Another Example Program for Chained Exception:


In Java, you can chain exceptions using the constructor of the Throwable class.
public class ExceptionExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// code that might throw an exception
int[] numbers = new int[5];
int divisor = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
int result = numbers[i] / divisor;
System.out.println(result);
}
} catch (ArithmeticException e) {
// create a new exception with the original exception as the cause
throw new RuntimeException("Error: division by zero", e);
}
}
}
In this example, an array of integers is defined and a divisor is set to 0. Inside the try block, a
for loop is used to divide each element in the array by the divisor. Since dividing by 0 is not
allowed, an ArithmeticException is thrown. This exception is caught in the catch block, which
creates a new RuntimeException object with the original ArithmeticException object as the
cause.
When you run this program, you should see the following output:
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.RuntimeException: Error: division by zero
at ExceptionExample.main(ExceptionExample.java:10)
Caused by: java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
at ExceptionExample.main(ExceptionExample.java:8)
