See the code explains. public class A {
protected void test() throws Exception { System.out.println("in A"); } } public class B extends A { public void test() throws IOException { System.out.println("in B"); } } As pre rule#1, the test method in Class B should not be "more restrictive" means it should not be private or default but it should be less restrictive, so it can be public. As per rule#2, the test method in Class B can send same Exception or narrower then the Exception send in Class A. Hope, this answers your question.
