how do i get/handle exceptions in a static block?

static{

try{

Test a =new Test();

test.getResult();

}

catch (Exception e){

...

}

assuming getResult will result to a NullPointerException, how can i get the error msg like for example i want to log that error?

You could always use e.getMessage().

i mean what if the one using that class where the static block is located will be the one logging the error?

Hang on. Are you saying that a different class is calling that code (I sure hope it is in a method)? Then what you need to do is throw the exception and have the try/catch block in the class that is calling it.

static blocks can't throw Exceptions so if you do encounter one the only thing you can do is handle it and set the class up in a way that indicates to methods that the static initialiser failed (and log things of course).

Those methods can then throw their own Exception to indicate that failure.
