Java Exceptions - Handling exceptions without try catch

Question

In Java, we handle exceptions using try catch blocks. I know that I can write a try catch block like the one below to catch any exception thrown in a method.

Answer 1

try {
   // do something
   methodWithException();
}
catch (Throwable t) {
   showMessage(t);
}

}//end business method

private void showMessage(Throwable t){
  /* logging the stacktrace of exception
   * if it's a web application, you can handle the message in an Object: es in Struts you can use ActionError
   * if it's a desktop app, you can show a popup
   * etc., etc.
   */
}
