An exception is first thrown from the top of the stack and if it is not

caught, it drops down the call stack to the previous method,If not

caught there, the exception again drops down to the previous method, Repetitive
and so on until they are caught or until they reach the very bottom of
the call stack.This is called exception propagation.

Rule: By default Unchecked Exceptions are forwarded in calling


chain (propagated).

Program of Exception Propagation

. class TestExceptionPropagation1{
. void m(){
. int data=50/0;
. }
. void n(){
. m();
. }
. void p(){
. try{
. n();
. }catch(Exception e){System.out.println("exception handled");}
. }
. public static void main(String args[]){
. TestExceptionPropagation1 obj=new TestExceptionPropagation1();
. obj.p();
. System.out.println("normal flow...");
. }
. }

Test it Now

Output:exception handled
normal flow...

In the above example exception occurs in m() method where it is not


handled,so it is propagated to previous n() method where it is not
handled, again it is propagated to p() method where exception is handled.

Exception can be handled in any method in call stack either in main()


method,p() method,n() method or m() method.

Rule: By default, Checked Exceptions are not forwarded in calling


chain (propagated).

Program which describes that checked exceptions are not


propagated

. class TestExceptionPropagation2{
. void m(){
. throw new java.io.IOException("device error");//checked exception
. }
. void n(){
. m();
. }
. void p(){
. try{
. n();
. }catch(Exception e){System.out.println("exception handeled");}
. }
. public static void main(String args[]){
. TestExceptionPropagation2 obj=new TestExceptionPropagation2();
. obj.p();
. System.out.println("normal flow");
. }
. }
