How to convert Unchecked Exception into Checked Exception and Vice Versa in Java

Question

在Java中，如何在Java中将Unchecked Exception转换为Checked Exception和Vice Versa。

Answer 1

You can't convert. Rather you have to wrap into a new exception of the required type eg to convert to unchecked:

throw new RuntimeException(checkedException);

or to checked:

throw new Exception(uncheckedException);

(you may want to choose more meaningful/specific exception types)

Answer 2

Unchecked Exceptions are subclasses of RuntimeException , checked ones are not. So to convert one exception you'd have to change its inheritance, then fix the compiler errors because your new checked exception was never declared or caught.

Answer 3

There is no way you can convert them. They are for different purposes. Caller needs to handle checked exceptions, while unchecked or runtime exceptions aren't usually taken care explicitly.

Answer 4

Let's say you've got two exception classes ExceptionA and ExceptionB ; and one of them is checked and the other is unchecked. You want to convert ExceptionA to ExceptionB .

Assuming ExceptionB has a constructor like

public ExceptionB(Exception e) {
    super(e);
}

you can do something like

catch (ExceptionA e) {
    throw new ExceptionB(e);
}

to wrap objects of one exception class in the other.
