java异常抛出,Java中抛出异常的方法

I am trying to understand Object Casting and Method Overriding.

I have a piece of code:

public class ExceptionClass{

void m() throws SQLException{}

}

class A extends ExceptionClass{

void m() throws Exception{}

}

This gives an error "Exception Exception is not compatible with throws clause in ExceptionClass.m()".

The same if I write as :

public class ExceptionClass{

void m() throws SQLException{}

}

class A extends ExceptionClass{

void m() throws RuntimeException{}

}

This doesnt give any error and method is also overridden properly.

After some analysis I thought that may be, since SQLException extends from Exception class therefore we cant replace "SQLException" with "Exception" in subclass (we are changing the signature of the overridden method).

But then I did this:

public class ExceptionClass{

void m() throws NullPointerException{}

}

class A extends ExceptionClass{

void m() throws RuntimeException{}

}

But there's no error here..! I thought it should give the same error because of the reason I mentioned above.

I am not sure why it is behaving in this way.

Also what are the rules to follow when we override methods, which throw Exceptions in method signature.

解决方案

NullPointerException and RuntimeException are both unchecked exceptions.

They don't need to be listed in the throws clause.
