I know, I could test this out myself, but that takes 20 minutes and posting the question where the author hangs out takes 2, and I'm getting close to the test date.
I take it that's my cue to chip in then
Yep, it should catch every exception. Think of it as a tag handler implemented like:
In fact, such tags are more likely to be classic tags and to implement the javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TryCatchFinally interface to get additional hooks for exceptions. More recent containers implement JSTL inline in the translated
JSP for efficiency, so in those cases <c:catch> just gets converted a try/catch block in the JSP source code. But you don't need to know any of that for the exam, or life in general really
