Hi Venkatesh, I dont think that RuntimeException affects performance. But catching it and logging it is helful for the maintaince to debug the problem that occured. Lets say for some reason an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException took place in your code. If you dont catch this RuntimeException and log it how will you come to know what problem has occured. BR Rahul

Well you will certainly know that an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException has occured, since all uncaught RuntimeExceptions will cause the JVM to exit. Mike.
