Trouble with exception

[Nafanya]

My application build with Spring roo. The first string in main class is

		new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml");

I want to handling a possible exception which appear with instantiating this constructor, because file "database.properties" can be edited by user. At start my application show error SQLNestedException and i can not
handling it because SQLNestedException is deprecated. I want if appear any error with " new ClassPathXmlA..." execute a my method ~doWithError(). What can I do?


Truly yours, Nafanya.

Maybe you could validate the properties file before you start up spring. You say the properties file is user input, so maybe do validation before using it?

Cheers,

Thank you. But how could i validate properties file before start up spring?

Why don't you add the ' @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")' at your method?

If you are receiving that exception, I would sorround the call with a try-catch for that exception.

If you want to validate the database.properties file, you can build a class wich read the file and try to connect to the database using the configuration data inside the file (maybe with a JDBC connection).

If it goes allright, it should be a valid file, isn't it?
