Java run code only if no exception is thrown in try and catch block?

Question

How do I make it so the code runs only if there was no exception thrown?

With finally code runs whether there was an exception or not.

try {
   //do something
} catch (Exception e) {}
//do something only if nothing was thrown

Answer 1

Here are two ways:

try {
    somethingThatMayThrowAnException();
    somethingElseAfterwards();
} catch (...) {
    ...
}

Or if you want your second block of code to be outside the try block:

boolean success = false;
try {
    somethingThatMayThrowAnException();
    success = true;
} catch (...) {
    ...
}
if (success) {
    somethingElseAfterwards();
}

You could also put the if statement in a finally block, but there is not enough information in your question to tell if that would be preferable or not.
