Methods

public void doCatch(Throwable exception) throws Throwable

Handles the specified exception and may optionally rethrow the same exception or a new exception. This method is invoked by the container if an exception is thrown when evaluating the body or by calling doStartTag( ), doEndTag( ), doInitBody( ), or doAfterBody( ).

public void doFinally( )

Typically clears per-invocation state, such as closing expensive resources used only for one invocation. This method is invoked after doEndTag( ) or after doCatch( ) if an exception is thrown when evaluating the body or by calling doStartTag( ), doEndTag( ), doInitBody( ), or doAfterBody( ).
