[JDK 1.6 SE] scope within finally clause
i implemented a simple JDBC connection in a try-catch-finally clause:
try{
Connection x = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.1.107:1521:oracle","usr","123");
}
catch (SQLException e){
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}
finally
{
try
{
if (x != null) x.close(); // line 35
}
catch (SQLException ignore) {}
}
which gives me the following error:
Test.java:35: cannot find symbol
symbol: variable x
location: class Test
if ( x != null) x.close();
with arrows pointing to both x's. According to the book where i copied the example from, this works in JDK 1.5 SE ; however i am using JDK 1.6.
does someone have any suggestion on how to fix this ?
p.s. i tried using just x.close() in finally(...) but gets same error
