Rishi,
Actually, you can catch Errors. Error is a subclass of Throwable. Catching
them just isn't recommended, and normally isn't useful or necessary. From
the JavaDocs:
An Error is a subclass of Throwable that indicates serious problems that a
reasonable application should not try to catch.
Most such errors are abnormal conditions. The ThreadDeath error, though a
"normal" condition, is also a subclass of Error
because most applications should not try to catch it.
I have actually caught an Error inside a servlet before, though, because
the servlet runner wasn't providing any information other than the
name of the error (no stack trace). The error was being thrown during file
I/O in my init method, and I was only able ot figure that out
by catching the error and writing out the stack trace.

Subject: Re: OutOfMemoryError - Addendum
..refer to my previous mail for the out of memory ans.
Also .... you can only catch exceptions ..... never an error . ....
So there is nothing much that you do about errors once they happen ... i
guess
