Java Generics – No Exception
”;
A generic class is not allowed to extend the Throwable class directly or indirectly.
//The generic class Box<T> may not subclass java.lang.Throwable class Box<T> extends Exception {} //The generic class Box<T> may not subclass java.lang.Throwable class Box1<T> extends Throwable {}
A method is not allowed to catch an instance of a type parameter.
public static <T extends Exception, J> void execute(List<J> jobs) { try { for (J job : jobs) {} // compile-time error //Cannot use the type parameter T in a catch block } catch (T e) { // ... } }
Type parameters are allowed in a throws clause.
class Box<T extends Exception> { private int t; public void add(int t) throws T { this.t = t; } public int get() { return t; } }
