How to continue program execution even after throwing exception?

Question

I have a requirement where in program execution flow should continue even after throwing an exception.

for(DataSource source : dataSources) {
    try {
        /         


        

Answer 1

If you are not breaking the loop somehow inside the catch block, then the other iterations will just continue, regardless of whether an exception was thrown in a previous iteration.

Try this simple example and see what happens:

List list = new ArrayList();
list.add("1");
list.add("2");
list.add("3");

for(String str: list) {
   try {
       System.out.println(str);
       throw new Exception("Exception for string " + str);
   } catch(Exception ex) {
       System.out.println("Caught exception");
   }
}

You will see that all iteration execute, even though each one throws an exception.
