Transaction management and exceptions

A transaction is a group of SQL operations that must all succeed or all fail (Atomicity). JDBC uses auto-commit mode by default, where each statement is committed instantly. Transaction Management Steps: Disable auto-commit: conn.setAutoCommit(false); Perform SQL operations Commit: conn.commit(); if all succeed Rollback: conn.rollback(); if any fails Code Snippet: Exception Handling Tips for Transactions Always …

Handling database-related exceptions

Interacting with databases is a critical part of most Java applications, and with it comes the need to handle exceptions effectively. Improper handling can lead to resource leaks, corrupted data, or even application crashes. Java provides robust mechanisms, primarily through JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) and exception handling constructs, to manage database-related errors efficiently. 1. Common …

Dealing with I/O errors

I/O (Input/Output) operations in Java—such as reading from or writing to files, sockets, or external devices—are prone to errors due to various reasons like missing files, permission issues, disk failure, or network problems. These errors are typically checked exceptions, requiring explicit handling in your code. Common I/O Exceptions in Java Exception Cause FileNotFoundException Trying to …

Exception handling with streams

Java Streams (introduced in Java 8) are part of the java.util.stream package and enable functional-style operations on collections of data. However, incorporating exception handling into streams is not straightforward, especially when dealing with checked exceptions. Challenges of Exception Handling in Streams Streams are lazy: Exceptions might not occur until the terminal operation is invoked. Lambda …

Handling file-related exceptions

Working with files in Java can lead to various exceptions, particularly checked exceptions, that must be explicitly handled using exception handling mechanisms like try-catch-finally, throws, or try-with-resources. Java provides rich file I/O APIs via the java.io and java.nio.file packages. Common File-Related Exceptions Exception Description FileNotFoundException Thrown when the file is not found or cannot be …

Thread-specific exception handling

In Java, thread-specific exception handling refers to managing exceptions that occur within individual threads of a multi-threaded application. Since each thread in a program runs independently, exceptions thrown within a thread must be handled within that specific thread to prevent the termination of the entire program. This approach ensures that each thread handles its own …

Exception handling in multi-threading

Exception handling in multi-threaded applications in Java is crucial to ensure that each thread can handle errors gracefully without affecting the stability of the entire application. This topic becomes particularly important in concurrent environments, such as banking systems, server applications, or real-time processing, where multiple threads operate simultaneously. Basics of Multi-threading In Java, a thread …

Catching and rethrowing exceptions in subclasses

In Java, a subclass can catch an exception thrown by a superclass method and then rethrow the same exception or throw a new one. This mechanism allows subclasses to: Perform additional processing (e.g., logging, wrapping). Convert one exception type to another. Propagate errors up the call stack after handling. Important Concepts Concept Explanation Catch and …
