Reg. Exception : Valiverus' exam

[Angela Narain]

Given that method aMethod() throws BaseException, SubException and RuntimeException of the following exception hierarchy
java.lang.Exception
|
+ - - BaseException
|
+ - - SubException
|
+ - - java.lang.RuntimeException

Which of the following are legal
A.public class MyClass {
public void myMethod(){
aMethod();
}
}
B.public class MyClass{
public void myMethod() throws BaseException,RuntimeException{
aMethod();
}
}
C.public class MyClass{
public void myMethod() throws BaseException{
aMethod();
}
}
D.public class MyClass{
public void myMethod() throws Exception{
aMethod();
}
}
E.public class MyClass{
public void myMethod() throws RuntimeException {
aMethod();
}
}

What are the correct answers ?
I assume B, C, D

[Gagan Indus]

i agree B , C & D are correct
A)myMethod() isn't catching any exceptions , so it must declare them in throws
E) none of da checked-exception is declared in throws

Hi Angela,
Based on the way you've drawn the heirarchy, "B" and "C" would also have to throw "SubException" .. unless "SubException" is really a subclass of "BaseException"

Hello Jane,
Actually the "SubException" is immediate subclass
of "BaseException" class as corrected below
java.lang.Exception
|
+-- BaseException
  |
�   +-- SubException

+-- java.lang.RuntimeException
