exception & loop

[Fernando Dominguez]

while ((itElements.hasNext()))
{
String sElement = (String) itElements.next();
try
{
String sErrorCode = op2.method_ThrowsEx(sElement);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

I Know that iterator has 5 elements,
Frist time I call method_throwsEx(sElemtent) an Exception is thrown , stack is printed and the loop ends.

Why does while ends at the frist element?

Does a loop ends when a exception is thrown?

Thans in advanced

Nope, the loop should not end if the exception is catched.
What is the stack-trace that is printed? Are you sure it is from the exception you expect? (The code in the catch can also throw an exception)

There are throwables that can stop a while loop even if there is a try catch clause. Do you have the stack trace so we can have the detail?

Hmm. Can you give an example?
