As we all know that human beings are bound to make mistakes. Same applies to the coding. While coding we might make mistakes thus exception handling is very important. In this article, we will learn about the errors in JSP and Exception handling in JSP with examples.<\/p>\n

\"Exception<\/a><\/p>\n

Exception Handling in JSP<\/h2>\n

Exceptions in JSP can be of three types:<\/p>\n

1. Checked Exceptions<\/h3>\n

Checked exceptions are those exceptions that users make. It also includes exceptions that a programmer and developer can\u2019t see. For example, a file that needs to be compiled can\u2019t be found. The compiler y can’t ignore these exceptions at the time of compilation. Other examples can be an IO Exception or an SQL Exception.<\/p>\n

2. Runtime Exceptions<\/h3>\n

Unlike checked exceptions, the compiler may avoid these exceptions at the compilation time. This exception might have been avoided by the developer or programmer. Arithmetic exception, Null Pointer exception, ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception fall under this category.<\/p>\n

3. Errors<\/h3>\n

Errors are also ignored at the time of compilation but they are out of the reach of the user or programmer. One cannot do anything about it. These include Instantiation error, Internal error, Stack Overflow etc.<\/p>\n

JSP Exception Object<\/h2>\n

It is an instance of Throwable class and is available just for error pages. Some methods are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
S.No.<\/b><\/td>\nMethod<\/b><\/td>\nDescription<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/span><\/td>\npublic String getMessage()<\/td>\nThis message will be initialized in a throwable constructor. This method will provide a description of the exception.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/span><\/td>\npublic Throwable getCause()<\/td>\nGives the cause of the exception.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3<\/span><\/td>\npublic String toString()<\/td>\nThis method will return the class associated with getMessage().<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/span><\/td>\npublic void printStackTrace()<\/td>\nGives the stack trace for the system error with the toString() message.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5<\/span><\/td>\npublic StackTraceElement [] getStackTrace()<\/td>\nThis method will return the array of all the elements of stack trace.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6<\/span><\/td>\npublic Throwable fillInStackTrace()<\/td>\nThis method will fill the throwable object with recent stack trace with any previous information.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Catch JSP Exceptions<\/h2>\n

There are three ways to catch an exception in JSP pages:<\/p>\n

1. Using error page and isErrorPage<\/h3>\n

Syntax:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<%@ page errorPage=\"exception.jsp\" %>\r\n<%@ page isErrorPage=\"true\" %>\r\n<\/pre>\n
JSP pages provide the functionality of error page and iserror page implicit objects to deal with errors. This is called page-level exception handling.<\/p>\n
For Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n
 main.jsp\r\n<html>\r\n<head>\r\n<title>Enter two Integers to divide<\/title>\r\n<\/head>\r\n<body>\r\n<form action=\"divide.jsp\">\r\nEnter First Integer:<input type=\"text\" name=\"number1\" \/><br\/>\r\nEnter Second Integer:<input type=\"text\" name=\"mumber2\" \/>\r\n<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Result\"\/>\r\n<\/form>\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html>\r\n \r\ndivide.jsp\r\n<%@ page errorPage=\"exception.jsp\" %>\r\n<html>\r\n<body>\r\n<%\r\nString num1=request.getParameter(\"number1\");\r\nString num2=request.getParameter(\"number2\");\r\nint n1= Integer.parseInt(num1);\r\nint n2= Integer.parseInt(num2);\r\nint result= n1\/n2;\r\nout.print(\"Output is: \"+ result);\r\n%>\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html>\r\n \r\nexception.jsp\r\n<%@ page isErrorPage=\"true\" %>\r\n<html>\r\n<head>\r\n<title>Exception<\/title><\/head>\r\n<body>\r\n<a href: Hey,Got this Exception: <\/a><%= exception %> <br\/>\r\n<a>Check the data entered.<\/a>\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html>\r\n<\/pre>\n
Explanation:<\/strong>
\nThe main page takes two input values to divide. To perform the operation, it calls divide.jsp which specifies that an error occurs then calls exception.jsp. If the user inputs denominator as zero then an exception will occur and exception.jsp runs which specifies that it is an error page. Following are the results:<\/p>\n
Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\"Error<\/a><\/h3>\n
\"Exception<\/a><\/h3>\n
2. Try and Catch Block<\/h3>\n
This method is known for catching exceptions directly using a try and catch block like core java.<\/p>\n
Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n
<%@ page language=\"java\" %>\r\n<html>\r\n<body>\r\n<%\r\ntry {\r\nint y = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter(\"y\")) ;\r\n%>\r\n<h3>The number is y=: <%=y%><\/h3>\r\n<%\r\n} catch (NumberFormatException x) {\r\n%>\r\n<h3>Number Format Exception <br\/> Error: y must be a number<\/h3>\r\n<%\r\n}\r\n%>\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html>\r\n<\/pre>\n
Explanation:<\/strong>
\nIn this example no. will input through URL query string. If it is a number, it will show the number otherwise it will catch the exception as follows.<\/p>\n
Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\"try<\/a><\/p>\n
3. Using web.xml configuration<\/h3>\n
This method is also known as application-level exception handling. This is done by setting a predefined configuration for certain errors.<\/p>\n
For Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n
<error-page>\r\n    <error-code>showerror<\/error-code>\r\n    <location>showerror.jsp<\/location>\r\n<\/error-page>\r\n \r\nshowerror.jsp\r\n<%@ page language=\"java\" contentType=\"text\/html; charset=UTF-8\"\r\n    pageEncoding=\"UTF-8\"%>\r\n<html>\r\n<head>\r\n<title>Error<\/title>\r\n<\/head>\r\n<body>\r\n<h2> This page could not be found, sorry!!<\/h2>\r\n ${pageContext.errorData.requestURI}\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html>\r\n<\/pre>\n
Explanation:<\/strong> When we execute this code the errorData object will give the information about the error in requestURI of throwable object as follows:<\/p>\n
Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\"handle<\/a><\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
This article discussed the exception handling in detail. It poured light upon the types of exceptions, methods of Exception. It described three ways to handle exceptions namely: direct handling, page-level exception handling and application level exception handling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
