Subject: Throwing Exceptions problem.
Hey guys, I'm trying to add a little bit of error detection and recovery
to the coolservlets SmtpEmail class. When the class writes to the port, I
try to catch the response, and if it's not what is expected, throw an
exception and close out of the function. The trouble is, I throw
Exception(String) and javac replies that 'Exception' is not found in
SmtpEmail (compile time error).
huh? Here is some code.. don't pick.. I'm at the start of my little java
code life.
public void send( )
throws Exception, IOException
{
yadda yadda..
if(errant("2",in))
{
error = "There was a problem with the RCPT TO response.";
out.println( "QUIT" );
out.close();
throw Exception(error);
return;
}
..yadda yadda
}
The plan is to find out why this very nice package acts like it sent the
mail, but then doesn't.
Another compile time error is that all my returns
are unreachable.. does throwing an exception kill the function that threw
it?
You can tell I'm a C++ student, can't you?
Thanks,
Jere
