Class Unchecked


  • public final class Unchecked
    extends Object
    Static utility methods that convert checked exceptions to unchecked.

    Two wrap() methods are provided that can wrap an arbitrary piece of logic and convert checked exceptions to unchecked.

    A number of other methods are provided that allow a lambda block to be decorated to avoid handling checked exceptions. For example, the method File.getCanonicalFile() throws an IOException which can be handled as follows:

      stream.map(Unchecked.function(file -> file.getCanonicalFile())
     

    Each method accepts a functional interface that is defined to throw Throwable. Catching Throwable means that any method can be wrapped. Any InvocationTargetException is extracted and processed recursively. Any IOException is converted to an UncheckedIOException. Any ReflectiveOperationException is converted to an UncheckedReflectiveOperationException. Any Error or RuntimeException is re-thrown without alteration. Any other exception is wrapped in a RuntimeException.

      • wrap

        public static void wrap​(CheckedRunnable block)
        Wraps a block of code, converting checked exceptions to unchecked.
           Unchecked.wrap(() -> {

           }
         

        If a checked exception is thrown it is converted to an UncheckedIOException or RuntimeException as appropriate.

        Parameters:
        block - the code block to wrap
        Throws:
        UncheckedIOException - if an IO exception occurs
        RuntimeException - if an exception occurs

               return methodWithCheckedException();
