Exceptions

[challa]

A method can return an Exception

Is it true? If so why ? Can anyone explain

[ankur rathi]

Yes , It is true .

Exception is ultimately an object so a method can return Exception also .

public class CIR1 {

Exception m() {
Exception ex = new Exception();
return ex;
}

public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
CIR1 c = new CIR1();
Exception e = c.m();
throw e;
}
}

is there is anyother thing that will throw the exception.TO my knowledge only method will throw the exception.

[ankur rathi]

constructor also can throw exceptions ...
