How to Correctly Close Resources

Question

As I was cleaning up some code, FindBugs pointed me to a bit of JDBC code that uses Connection, CallableStatement, and ResultSet objects. Here\'s a snippet from that code:

Answer 1

You can wrap one block into another block:

try{
  Connection c = ...
    try{
      statement = c.prepareStatement(...);
      try{
        rs = statement.execute(...);
      }finally{
        rs.close();
      }
    }finally{
      statement.close()
    }
  }finally{
    c.close();
  }
}catch(SQLException e){}

Use the lowermost catch-block for everything that might crop up
