Yet Throwable is more generic as Exception. Try it.

Something is still a-miss? -----Original Message----- From: SH Solutions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 December 2003 11:37 To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: AW: Illegal Access Error [ URLConnection ] Hi > When I do URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromName(filename) I get an IllegalAccessError thrown. Yet, I cannot catch this as the method only throws an IOException. I dont know where this comes from since I dont have any idea what this method is all about. But I can tell you how to catch the Exception. try { .. } catch ( IllegalAccessError iae ) { } As of you post I guess you thought that you couldn't catch a Exception that is not declared to be thrown by the method in question. But this is only half the truth. You can throw everything that inherits from Throwable. Descendents of Exception are such classes, but there are more. You can catch about everything if you use this; } catch ( Throwable t ) { t.printStackTrace(); // not required but a good start. ...
