Lesson: 03 Exception Handling


try {
    Account ac = new Account();
    insert ac;
} catch(DmlException e) {
    System.debug('The following exception has occurred: ' + e.getMessage());
}

Notice that the request status in the Developer Console now reports success. This is because the code handles the exception.

try {
    Account ac = new Account();
    insert ac;
    // This doesn't execute since insert causes an exception
    System.debug('Statement after insert.');
} catch(DmlException e) {
    System.debug('The following exception has occurred: ' + e.getMessage());
}

In the new debug log entry, notice that you don’t see a debug message of Statement after insert. This is because this debug statement occurs after the exception caused by the insertion and never gets executed.

try {
    Account ac = new Account();
    insert ac;
} catch(DmlException e) {
    System.debug('The following exception has occurred: ' + e.getMessage());
}
// This will get executed
System.debug('Statement after insert.');

Alternatively, you can include additional try-catch blocks.

try {
    Account ac = new Account();
    insert ac;
} catch(DmlException e) {
    System.debug('The following exception has occurred: ' + e.getMessage());
}

try {
    System.debug('Statement after insert.');
    // Insert other records
}
catch (Exception e) {
    // Handle this exception here
}

The finally block always executes regardless of what exception is thrown, and even if no exception is thrown. Let’s see it used in action. Execute the following
