Java Programming with J2SE 5: Exception Handling and Assertions

Course details

To enable the learner to handle exceptions and use assertions in Java

• Try, catch, and finally blocks in Java
• specify the code required to use try, catch, and finally blocks to handle exceptions in Java for a given scenario.
• The Java Exception class hierarchy
• specify the appropriate method of the Throwable class to use in a given piece of code, and associate runtime and checked exceptions with the events that throw them.
• Throwing exceptions in Java
• handle exceptions in calling methods, create and throw exceptions explicitly, and use exception chaining to set the cause of a thrown exception.
• Working with exceptions in Java 5.0
• create an exception subclass for a given code sample, and implement exception handlers on a thread basis.
• Handling exceptions in Java
• create, throw, catch, and handle exceptions for a given scenario.
• The assertion mechanism in Java
• identify the code used to create a Java assertion statement for a given scenario, and specify the commands and flags used to create and compile assertions.
• Using assertions in Java
