throws Exception in finally blocks

Question

Is there an elegant way to handle exceptions that are thrown in finally block?

For example:

try {
  // Use the resource.
}
catch( Excep         


        

Answer 1

If you're using Java 7, and resource implements AutoClosable, you can do this (using InputStream as an example):

try (InputStream resource = getInputStream()) {
  // Use the resource.
}
catch( Exception ex ) {
  // Problem with the resource.
}
