 Q15. Can we catch errors in Java ? Core Java
Ans. Yes we can

try {
// code
} catch (Error ex) {
// handling code
}

but we shouldn't ideally do that as errors are mostly JVM based and not application based and there is rarely we can do something about it. Very likely catching and not re throwing would lead to muting their response or trace.

 Q16. What is the difference between access and error log ?Logging
Ans. We log each access to the application resource within access logs, something like

"GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 113 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 zgrab/0.x" "-"

We log only error / warn messages within error logs, something like

ERROR 123#0: *19 connect() failed
