doubt regarding servlet exception handling .

[RaviNada Kiran]

If an exception occurs inside a catch block as shown :

catch(Exception e)
{
throw new Exception // [b]configured an error page in web.xml to show an appropiate page.[/b]
}

// [b]As per the Exception the page will be shown , now i want to know how and when finally will get executed?[/b]

finally
{
System.out.println("Hai");
}

Thanks in advance

It seems faster to try it than ask on the web. But I didn't remember off the top of my head so I tried it.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    try {
	throw new RuntimeException();
    } catch (Exception e) {
	throw new RuntimeException();
    } finally {
	System.out.println("a");
    }
}

outputs:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException
at play.PlayTest.main(PlayTest.java:10)
a

So yes, the finally is executed and it is output last.
