Answer 1

By putting return in finally method you override thrown exception and result is returned instead. Your code should be something like this:

static int retIntExc() throws Exception{
        int result = 1;
        try {
            result = 2;
            throw new IOException("Exception rised.");
        } catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            result = 3;
        } finally {
            // do something
        }
        // it gets here only when exception is not thrown
        return result;
    }
