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

Changing Resource from best answer to Closeable

Streams implements Closeable Thus you can reuse the method for all streams

protected void closeQuietly(Closeable resource) {
    if (resource == null) 
        return;
    try {
        resource.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        //log the exception
    }
}
