How does Java’s System.exit() work with try/catch/finally blocks? [duplicate]

by

No. System.exit(0) doesn’t return, and the finally block is not executed.

System.exit(int) can throw a SecurityException. If that happens, the finally block will be executed. And since the same principal is calling the same method from the same code base, another SecurityException is likely to be thrown from the second call.

Here’s an example of the second case:

import java.security.Permission;

public class Main
{

  public static void main(String... argv)
    throws Exception
  {
    System.setSecurityManager(new SecurityManager() {

      @Override
      public void checkPermission(Permission perm)
      {
        /* Allow everything else. */
      }

      @Override
      public void checkExit(int status)
      {
        /* Don't allow exit with any status code. */
        throw new SecurityException();
      }

    });
    System.err.println("I'm dying!");
    try {
      System.exit(0);
    } finally {
      System.err.println("I'm not dead yet!");
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

}
