Handling an Assertion Error

When an assertion fails, AssertionError is thrown. Handling an assertion failure is rarely done. A situation in which you might handle an assertion failure is in the top-level loop of a high-availability server.
try { assert args.length > 0; } catch (AssertionError e) { // In this case, the message is null String message = e.getMessage(); } try { assert args.length > 0 : "my message"; } catch (AssertionError e) { // In this case, the message is a string String message = e.getMessage(); }
