Exception test

Looks like it, indeed, does the first catch and then hops out...

import java.sql.*; class Employeetest { public static void main (String args []) { try { Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { System.out.println("Failed to load JDBC/ODBC driver. Cannot find class"); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Failed to load JDBC/ODBC driver."); return; } }}

expert:/opt/java/oracle/samples/thin> java Employeetest
Failed to load JDBC/ODBC driver. Cannot find class

OK, try with the first commented out:

// catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { // System.out.println("Failed to load JDBC/ODBC driver. // Cannot find class"); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Failed to load JDBC/ODBC driver."); return; }

expert:/opt/java/oracle/samples/thin> javac Employeetest.java
expert:/opt/java/oracle/samples/thin> java Employeetest
Failed to load JDBC/ODBC driver.

OK, try with the order different:

try { // Load the Oracle JDBC driver Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Failed to load JDBC/ODBC driver."); } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { System.out.println("Failed to load JDBC/ODBC driver. Cannot find class"); }
