Java compiler error message

[Jude Regy]

Hello There,

I am having a very annoying compiler error message:

XMLAgent.java:62: illegal start of type
} catch (SQLException e) {
^
XMLAgent.java:64: <identifier> expected
} finally { };

XMLAgent is the file I am trying to compile. I am new to Java and have to
submit my assignment by monday.

I would really applreciate any guidance on what is causing this problem.

Thanks,
Jude

It looks like you probably have an extra closing brace ('}') before this
section.
