avoid finally

[anarkali perera]

we know that finally block execute every time.But is there any other way to avoid the executing finally block without system.exit()?

[Zandis Murāns]

yeah, do not write that block if you don't want to execute it. Or, create if statement that surrounds all the block:

try {

	isNecessary = false;

}
catch (Exception e) {

	;

}
finally {

	if (isNecessary) {
		System.out.println("Hello world");
	}

}

Yes. It's called bad design. If you wrote a "finally" block you intend to execute it, so you don't want to avoid execution.

You will find this question comes up here repeatedly. Look what the late Stan James wrote here.

Cambell is right. the whole POINT of a finally block is that is it code that HAS to run, regardless of what else happens in the try/catch block. You are effectively asking "How do i not run the code I said I have to run"?

To that i'd reply "which is it? do you need to run it, or do you need to not run it?"

You should only put code that has to be run every time in the finally block. If you don't need to always run it, DON'T put it in there.

Well said by Campbell and fred rosenberger!

It would be other way around called as 'Self Contradiction' Moreover, it would be a mere waste of all - including the lines in your java source code, compilers efforts to get the code compiled, etc., ...

[Campbell Ritchie]

But have you read what Stan wrote? That is such a beautiful quote

[Raghavan Muthu]

Yes of course. His verse is "Man, I hate when that happens"!

He was one such beautiful bartender. We miss him a lot!
