How to throw System Defined Exceptions in salesforce?
Hi All,
I have a try catch block in my apex class.
try
{
///Webservice call
}
catch(CallOutException e)
{
}
As webservice call will not be made in test methods, i need to throw CalloutException explicitly in test class.
Has anyone tried throwing System defined Exception?
Thanks

We have wanted to do this, but have not been able to find a way. I don't believe you can instantiate salesforce defined exceptions - I've always assumed this is because there is some bulit-in exception handling and they don't want your code making this fire.
I'd suggest that your catch block for the system exception throws a new custom exception that can wrap that or a different exception.
This is something that we often hit - you can't engineer some failure scenarios in unit tests, so you have a choice of writing code to pretend a failure occured purely for unit tests or not covering that code. We often go for the latter option.
