about RemoteException

[Anonymous]

Hi all,
I am working in RMI.
In my server interface i have to throws RemoteException
and my server class i need to throws DatabaseException
so i got error message : overridden method doese not throw DatabaseException
I'm wondering should i add DatabaseException into server interface

Thanks,
lili

Hi lili,
Overridden methods can't throws a wider spectrum of exception than overriding methods, so if you have a superclass (or interface) with a method (for example)
void a() throws RemoteException;
you can't make a subclass with the signature above:
void a() throws RemoteException,DatabaseException;
if the situation look like this, you must include DatabaseException inton the signature of the superclass (interface)method
Hope it helps.
