What exception to use?

[Sharon whipple]

I am running line of code that will execute Ejb remote/local method
I want to be sure that I will handle every exception possible
Should i use Throwable or RuntimeException whats the difference anyway?
Thank you
Sharon

    
try{
   methodCall();
}catch(RuntimeException re){handle error}

    
try{
   methodCall();
}catch(Throwable t){handle error}

You need to go through the Exceptions part of the Java tutorial. You should be catching anything your method declares in its javadoc or throws clause.
Not usually a good idea to try catching everything, but if you insist then catch Exception.
