How to Create User Defined Exception in Java
Core Java » on Sep 28, 2012 { 16 Comments } By Sivateja
Apart from existing Exceptions in java, we can create our own Exceptions (User defined exceptions in java), we will how to..
Required files
- Client.java [ My business logic will goes here ]
- MyOwnExceptionClass.java [ This is our own Exception class ]
Note: Our user defined class must extend from Exception class, and we must override the toString() method to display our exception message.
Client.java
package java4s;
public class Client {
public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception
{
int price = -120;
if(price < 0)
throw new MyOwnExceptionClass(price);
else
System.out.println("Your age is :"+price);
}
}MyOwnExceptionClass.java
package java4s;
public class MyOwnExceptionClass extends Exception {
private int price;
public MyOwnExceptionClass(int price){
this.price = price;
}
public String toString(){
return "Price should not be in negative, you are entered" +price;
}
}Output:

Hi,
Can’t we like this, instead of overriding toString() method. can’t we call super(msg) in constructor.
Thanks,
Suresh.p
@Suresh
Yeah you can do..
Changes:
In Client.java – Line number 9, Write some description about your Exception.
In MyOwnExceptionClass.java – Fetch the previous message through constructor and at Line number 8 write super(msg).
Note: Ensure super(–) must be the first statement in the constructor always 🙂
That’s it.
thank u sir………..
what is the boilerplate issue in Hibernate ?how to avoid it?
What is the difference between String, StringTokenizer and StringBuffer. complete explanation with an appropriate example..

what is the differences between ‘throws’ and ‘throw’?
this very good explanation
Difference between throws and throw:
throws keyword is used to give a list of probable Exception classes which will handle the exception whereas throw keyword is used to specify a particular exception class.
Hello Sir,
I have two questions :
1)If we overload a method and we pass String in one method and Object in another So while calling if we pass ‘null’ then which method will be called and why?
2)If we overload a method and we pass String in one method and Integer in another So while calling if we pass ‘null’ then which method will be called and why?
Thanks Sir.
Please explain me…..what is the benefit of defining a User Defined Checked Exception ? I mean If we look into the real life project..we can not deploy our build without resolving all compile time exception.So in this scenario , User defined Runtime exception can be justified…but how can we benefited from creating User Defined Checked Exception ?
Thanks for the info 🙂
When running the above example, it is giving the desired output but giving a warning as well:
The serializable class MyOwnExceptionClass does not declare a static final serialVersionUID field of type long
why so? can you please explain.
The Exception message mentioned in class and the output printed in console has some minor difference. (check at the word “should” ).
while executing this program i am getting like public type MyOwnExceptionClass must be defined in its own.
Could you please explain for this
thanks sir so many questions are clear from that
