Throws clause in java – Exception handling
11:00:00Use of throws keyword in Java
1. The throws keyword is used in method declaration, in order
to explicitly specify the exceptions that a particular method might throw. When
a method declaration has one or more exceptions defined using throws clause
then the method-call must handle all the defined exceptions.
2. When defining a method you must include a throws clause to declare those exceptions that might be thrown but doesn’t get caught in the method.
3. If a method is using throws clause along with few exceptions then this implicitly tells other methods that – “ If you call me, you must handle these exceptions that I throw”.

Syntax of Throws in java:
void MethodName() throws ExceptionName{
Statement1
...
...
}
E.g:
public void sample() throws IOException{
//Statements
//if (somethingWrong)
IOException e = new IOException();
throw e;
//More Statements
}
Note: In case a method throws more than one
exception, all of them should be listed in throws clause. PFB the example to
understand the same.
public void sample() throws IOException, SQLException
{
//Statements
}
The above method
has both IOException and SQLException listed in throws clause. There can be any number of exceptions defined using throws clause.
Complete Example of Java throws Clause
class Demo
{
static void throwMethod() throws NullPointerException
{
System.out.println ("Inside throwMethod");
throw new NullPointerException ("Demo");
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
try
{
throwMethod();
}
catch (NullPointerException exp)
{
System.out.println ("The exception get caught" +exp);
}
}
}
The output of the above program is:
Inside throwMethod
The exception get caught java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Demo
