Not sure about the rest, but don't create a new object by throwing a NEW
one...just rethrow the one you caught (throw e)

> I have a JSP that is not catching an exception like it's

>
> I'm calling a method that throws an SQLException. Method definition:
>
> public boolean addNewUser(userInfo ui) throws SQLException {
>
> In the method I'm calling other methods that throw SQLExceptions,
> but I need to
> do some preprocessing before passing the exception up the call
> stack, so I catch
> the exception, do my stuff, then throw a new exception with added
> information:
>
> catch(SQLException e) {
> System.out.println("SQLException thrown, just caught it.\n");
> e.printStackTrace();
> returnVal = 0;
> throw new SQLException( "my message" + e.getMessage() );
> }

> The problem is my JSP page never catches the exception! Yet, I've learned
