Hi,

Define a "throws" clause in the definition of that constructor.
like:

public xxx
{

public xxx() throws YuorException
{
throw new YourException();
}
}

> I'm trying to determine how to pass information from a java constructor that has failed to an exception handler. Does anybody have any idea how to go about doing this? thanks for your help.
