简单谈谈java的异常处理(Try Catch Finally)

时间:2021-07-11 17:16:33

异常的英文单词是exception,字面翻译就是“意外、例外”的意思,也就是非正常情况。事实上,异常本质上是程序上的错误,包括程序逻辑错误和系统错误。

一 前言

java异常处理大家都不陌生,总的来说有下面两点:

1.抛出异常:throw exception

?
1
2
3
4
5
class SimpleException{
  public void a() throws Exception{
    throw new Exception();
  };
}

2.捕获异常:

?

12
13

16
17
public class MyException {
  public static void main(String[] args){
    MyException e = new MyException();
    SimpleException se = new SimpleException();
    try {
      se.a();
    } catch (Exception e1) {
      e1.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}
 
class SimpleException{
  public void a() throws Exception{
    throw new Exception();
  };

本文将在此基础上,更加深入的谈一些细节问题。

二 自定义异常类

java语言为我们提供了很多异常类,但是有时候我们为了写代码的方便还是要自定义的去创造异常类:

class SimpleException extends Exception {};
创建好之后我们可以使用try catch捕获它:

?
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
public class MyException {
  public static void main(String[] args){
    MyException e = new MyException();
    try {
      e.a();
    } catch (SimpleException e1) {
      e1.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
  
  public void a() throws SimpleException{
    throw new SimpleException();
  }
}
 
class SimpleException extends Exception {};

我们在MyException中定义了一个方法a(),让它抛出SimpleException异常,然后我们在main()中调用这个方法,并使用try catch捕获了这个异常:

?
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
SimpleException
  at MyException.a(MyException.java:15)
  at MyException.main(MyException.java:8)
  at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
  at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57)
  at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43)
  at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606)
  at com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain.main(AppMain.java:144)
 
Process finished with exit code 0

编译执行后的结果,主要看前三行就行了。这里着重说明几点:
1.抛出异常类型的指定:(exception specification)
当我们需要在一个方法中抛出一个异常时,我们使用throw后加某异常类的实例,程序会在此向客户端程序(调用这段代码的程序)抛出对应异常并在此退出(相当于return)。另外需要注意的是,我们必须在定义该方法的时候指明异常类型,比如下面这段代码会抛出SimpleException异常

public void a() throws SimpleException

2.抛出多个异常:

?
1
2
3
4
public void a() throws SimpleException,AException,BException{
  throw new SimpleException();
  
}

不同的异常类之间用逗号隔开即可,在这种情况下我们不必须throw每个异常类的实例(),但是客户端代码必须要catch到每个异常类:

?
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
public class MyException {
  public static void main(String[] args){
    MyException e = new MyException();
    try {
      e.a();
    } catch (SimpleException e1) {
      e1.printStackTrace();
    } catch (BException e1) {
      e1.printStackTrace();
    } catch (AException e1) {
      e1.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
 
  public void a() throws SimpleException,AException,BException{
    throw new SimpleException();
    
  }
}
 
class SimpleException extends Exception {};
class AException extends Exception{}
class BException extends Exception{}

三 stack trace

无论是抛出异常,或者是捕获处理异常,我们的目的是为了写出更健壮的程序,这很大程度上依赖于java异常机制给我们提供的异常信息,而它的载体就是stack trace。
前面的代码中我们直接使用printStackTrace()打印出异常信息,其实我们还可以使用getStackTrace()方法来获取StackTraceElement型的集合,如果你手头有IDEA的话,你可以先搜索出StackTraceElement类,可以发现它实现了接口Serializable ,再看看它的类描述:

?

4
5

7
8

10
11
12
/**
 * An element in a stack trace, as returned by {@link
 * Throwable#getStackTrace()}. Each element represents a single stack frame.
 * All stack frames except for the one at the top of the stack represent
 * a method invocation. The frame at the top of the stack represents the
 * execution point at which the stack trace was generated. Typically,
 * this is the point at which the throwable corresponding to the stack trace
 * was created.
 *
 * @since 1.4
 * @author Josh Bloch
 */

讲的很清楚,这个类的每个实例都是stack trace的一个元素,代表着一个stack frame,stack trace是由getStackTrace()方法返回的。后边的我试着翻译了几遍,都觉得不好,还是直接上代码才能说清楚:

public class MyException {
  public static void main(String[] args){
    MyException e = new MyException();
    e.a();
 
  public void a(){
    try {
      throw new Exception();
    } catch (Exception e) {
      StackTraceElement[] ste = e.getStackTrace();
      System.out.println(ste.length);
 
    }
  }
}

我们定义了方法a,让它抛出Exception异常的同时捕获它,然后我们通过getStackTrace()方法得到一个StackTraceElement型的数组,并打印出数组的长度:

7

Process finished with exit code 0
我们把代码稍微改一下,不在a中捕获异常了,我们重新定义一个方法b,让它在调用a的同时将异常捕获:

?

public class MyException {
  public static void main(String[] args){
    MyException e = new MyException();
    e.b();
  }
 
  public void b(){
    try {
      a();
    } catch (Exception e) {
      StackTraceElement[] ste = e.getStackTrace();
      System.out.println(ste.length);
    }
  }
 
  public void a() throws Exception{
    throw new Exception();
  }
}

结果如下:

8

Process finished with exit code 0
别急,我们再来看点有趣的:

public class MyException {
  public static void main(String[] args){
    MyException exception = new MyException();
    try {
      exception.c();
    } catch (Exception e) {
      StackTraceElement[] ste = e.getStackTrace();
      System.out.println(ste.length);
      System.out.println("---------------------------------------------------------------");
      for (StackTraceElement s : e.getStackTrace()){
        System.out.println(s.getClassName()+":method "+s.getMethodName()+" at line"+s.getLineNumber());
      }
      System.out.println("---------------------------------------------------------------");
 
    }
 
  }
 
 public void c() throws Exception{
    try {
      a();
    }catch (Exception e){
      throw e;
    }
  }
 
  public void a() throws Exception{
    throw new Exception();
  }
}

下面是结果:

Process finished with exit code 0

也就是说,getStackTrace()返回一个栈,它包含从调用者(main())到初始抛出异常者(a())的一些基本信息 ,在上面的代码中,我们在c方法中调用a方法时捕获异常并通过throws将其再次抛出(rethrow),调用c方法的方法可以捕获并处理异常,也可以选择继续抛出让更高层次的调用者(靠近栈底)处理。rethrow虽然很方便,但存在着一些问题,我们看下面这段代码:

public class MyException {
  public static void main(String[] args){
    MyException exception = new MyException();
    try {
      exception.c();
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace(System.out);
    }
 
  }
 
  public void c() throws Exception{
    try {
      a();
    }catch (Exception e){
      throw e;
    }
  }
 
  public void a() throws Exception{
 
    throw new Exception("Exception from a()");
  }
}
java.lang.Exception: Exception from a()
  at MyException.a(MyException.java:40)
  at MyException.c(MyException.java:30)
  at MyException.main(MyException.java:21)

我们在c中重新抛出e,在main中使用 e.printStackTrace()打印出来,可以看到打印出来stack trace还是属于a的,如果我们想把stack trace变成c的可以这么写:

public class MyException {
  public static void main(String[] args){
    MyException exception = new MyException();
 
    try {
      exception.c();
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace(System.out);
    }
 
  }
 
  public void c() throws Exception{
    try {
      a();
    }catch (Exception e){
//      throw e;
      throw (Exception)e.fillInStackTrace();
    }
  }
 
  public void a() throws Exception{
 
    throw new Exception("Exception from a()");
  }
}
java.lang.Exception: Exception from a()
  at MyException.c(MyException.java:22)
  at MyException.main(MyException.java:10)

四 异常链 Exception chaining

先来看一个场景:

public class TestException {
  public static void main(String[] args){
    TestException testException = new TestException();
    try {
      testException.c();
    } catch (CException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
 
  public void a() throws AException{
    AException aException = new AException("this is a exception");
    throw aException;
  }
 
  public void b() throws BException{
    try {
      a();
    } catch (AException e) {
      throw new BException("this is b exception");
    }
  }
 
  public void c() throws CException{
    try {
      b();
    } catch (BException e) {
      throw new CException("this is c exception");
    }
  }
}
 
class AException extends Exception{
  public AException(String msg){
    super(msg);
  }
}
 
class BException extends Exception{
  public BException(String msg){
    super(msg);
  }
}
 
class CException extends Exception{
  public CException(String msg){
    super(msg);
  }
}

创建了三个异常类AException、BException、CException,然后在a()中抛出AException,在b()中捕获AException并抛出BException,最后在c()中捕获BException并抛出CException,结果打印如下:

?
1
2
3
CException: this is c exception
  at TestException.c(TestException.java:31)
  at TestException.main(TestException.java:8)

好,我们只看到了CException的信息,AException,BException的异常信息已丢失,这时候异常链的作用就出来了,看代码:

public class TestException {
  public static void main(String[] args){
    TestException testException = new TestException();
    try {
      testException.c();
    } catch (CException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
 
  public void a() throws AException{
    AException aException = new AException("this is a exception");
    throw aException;
  }
 
  public void b() throws BException{
    try {
      a();
    } catch (AException e) {
//      throw new BException("this is b exception");
      BException bException = new BException("this is b exception");
      bException.initCause(e);
      throw bException;
    }
  }
 
  public void c() throws CException{
    try {
      b();
    } catch (BException e) {
//      throw new CException("this is c exception");
      CException cException = new CException("this is c exception");
      cException.initCause(e);
      throw cException;
    }
  }
}
 
class AException extends Exception{
  public AException(String msg){
    super(msg);
  }
}
 
class BException extends Exception{
  public BException(String msg){
    super(msg);
  }
}
 
class CException extends Exception{
  public CException(String msg){
    super(msg);
  }
}

我们用initCause()方法将异常信息给串联了起来,结果如下:

五 后记

其实关于java异常处理还有很多需要探讨的地方,但是由于我经验有限,还不能体会的太深刻,最常用的也就是

?
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
try {
      ...
    }catch (Exception e){
      ...
    }finally {
     //不管异常会不会被捕捉或者处理都会执行的代码,如关闭IO操作
    }

但是无论如何我们还是要感谢java给我们提供的异常机制,它好似一个长者,时不时给我们指引道路,也让我们在编码的时候没有那么无聊:)
