Can someone please confirm the following:
In beta Java, if object A extends object B, and both implement method
foo(), A.foo() *cannot* throw exception X unless B.foo() also
throws X. If you declare that A.foo() throws X, the compiler
will complain that B doesn't also throw X.
This means that you can NEVER throw an exception from a
toString() method because Object.toString() doesn't throw
any exceptions.
Is this correct?
Paul
