How would you throw exceptions higher up in the call stack?

I use the keyword throw to rethrow or create a new exception.

public void method1() throws CustomException {
    try {
        // Some code that might throw AnotherException
        method2();
    } catch (AnotherException e) {
        // Catching AnotherException
        // Wrapping it in a CustomException and throwing it up
        throw new CustomException("Error in Method2: " + e.getMessage(), e);
    }
}

public void method2() throws AnotherException {
    // Some code that might throw an exception
    throw new AnotherException("Something went wrong in Method2");
}

class CustomException extends Exception {
    public CustomException(String message, Throwable cause) {
        super(message, cause);
    }
}

class AnotherException extends Exception {
    public AnotherException(String message) {
        super(message);
    }
}

Alternatively, if you just want to rethrow the caught exception without creating a new one:

public void methodA() throws SomeException {
    try {
        methodB();
    } catch (SomeException e) {
        // Logging or other actions
        // Rethrow the same exception up the stack
        throw e;
    }
}

public void methodB() throws SomeException {
    // Code that might throw SomeException
    throw new SomeException("Error in MethodB");
}

class SomeException extends Exception {
    public SomeException(String message) {
        super(message);
    }
}
