Pelops - Catch Connection Error?

Is there a way to catch a connection error when using pelops in Java? I have the following code but for some reason, I'm not getting to my catch block.

public static Boolean testDBConnection() throws PelopsException {
    try{
        Cluster cluster = new Cluster("127.0.0.1", 9160);

        Pelops.addPool(pool, cluster, keyspace);

        Pelops.shutdown();

        return true;
    }
    catch(PelopsException e)
    {
        System.out.println("SOMETHING WENT WRONG!");
        System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        return false;
    }
}

This is probably something really easy, but I can't seem to get it to work. I see the exceptions coming through, but there is just no way I can catch this? Could someone please lead me in the right direction?

Thanks!

EDIT - Exception being returned in Eclipse Console...

Solution

  • The exception being thrown org.apache.thrift.TTransportException is a checked exception that is not caught and wrapped by PelopsException which extends RuntimeException.

    If you want your method to always return a PelopsException, you must catch(Exception e) and then throw new PelopsException(e.getMessage()) inside your catch block.

       catch(Exception e)
{
    System.out.println("SOMETHING WENT WRONG!");
    System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    throw new PelopsException(e.getMessage());
}
