[EBOB-DISCUSS] what if a constructor argument declares a thrown exception?

[Liam M. <lm...@wp...>]

Let's say we have a class Foo:

Class Foo {
    int getIntValue() throws Exception {
       return 4;
    }
}

and a class Bah:

Class Bah {
    Bah (int i) {}
}

What if we add a Foo object to the bench "foo1", and then try to add a 
Bah object to the bench using "foo1.getIntValue()" as a parameter in the 
constructor? Java would say we need to catch that exception somewhere, 
but where?

I tried this in BlueJ... Everything succeeded, and I wasn't alerted to 
the uncaught Exception. I recorded a Unit test, which succeeded; 
however, when I opened the unit test and tried to compile it, it failed.
