Title Body

I have the following code: try { //jaw-ws service port operation port.login(); } catch (Exception e) { logger.error("Caught Exception in login(): " + e.getMessage()); } When the above is run with an incorrect hostname, I get: Caught Exception in login(): HTTP transport error: java.net.UnknownHostException: abc That is correct and expected. I re-wrote the code to specifically catch UnknownHostException, as follows: import java.net.UnknownHostException; try { //jaw-ws service port operation port.login(); } catch (UnknownHostException uhe) { //do something specific to unknown host exception } catch (Exception e) { logger.error(Caught Exception in login(): " + e.getMessage()); } However, when I try to compile this I get: [javac] foo.java: exception java.net.UnknownHostException is never thrown in body of corresponding try statement [javac] } catch (UnknownHostException uhe) { [javac] ^ This is clearly false, since the exception is thrown, as I have caught it before. What am I missing here? tia, rouble
