Some database drivers might even return an error code as part of the Exception. You can examine that and find out exactly what went wrong. For example, IBM's DB2 has a mapping of "error code" => "what went wrong".

OK. I had a closer look and found it. It seems that there is an exception thrown, "DaoException", that can be caught and acted upon. This is what I'll use.

Thnaks, again, for the response.

Thank you for the prompt answer. You are right. The specific situation I described will return null.

That still leaves the question, in my mind, about catching SQLExceptions in general. There may be other situations that cause an SQLException, such as an invalid SELECT statement. Is there a way of catching these?

thanks,
Edwin

That would not throw an exception anyway - the returned object would
simply be null.

I am using Ibatis Data Access Objects. I cannot figure out how to catch

I wish to catch the fact that a row may not exist and report the error back to the user. The Data Mapper seems to provide SQLExceptions bu the DAO
methods do not.

    Any help would be appreciated.
