How to Create Java Custom Exception

Sometimes it is required to develop meaningful exceptions based on application requirements. We can create our own exceptions by extending 'Exception' class. Below example shows how to create custom exception by extending Exception class.

Java Custom Exception Sample Code

Code:
package com.myjava.exceptions;

public class MyOwnException {
    public static void main(String[] a){
        try{
            MyOwnException.myTest(null);
        } catch(MyAppException mae){
            System.out.println("Inside catch block: "+mae.getMessage());
        }
    }
    
    static void myTest(String str) throws MyAppException{
        if(str == null){
            throw new MyAppException("String val is null");
        }
    }
}

class MyAppException extends Exception {

	private String message = null;

	public MyAppException() {
		super();
	}

	public MyAppException(String message) {
		super(message);
		this.message = message;
	}

	public MyAppException(Throwable cause) {
		super(cause);
	}

	@Override
	public String toString() {
		return message;
	}

	@Override
	public String getMessage() {
		return message;
	}
}

Example Output

Inside catch block: String val is null

Difference between Enumeration and Iterator
The functionality of Enumeration and the Iterator are same. You can get remove() from Iterator to remove an element, while while Enumeration does not have remove() method. Using Enumeration you can only traverse and fetch the objects, where as using Iterator we can also add and remove the objects. So Iterator can be useful if you want to manipulate the list and Enumeration is for read-only access.

If you don’t make mistakes, you’re not working on hard enough problems. And that’s a big mistake.
