Apache HttpClient ResponseHandler Exceptions

Question

ResponseHandler<RedditRequestResponse> rh = new ResponseHandler<RedditRequestResponse>() {
            @Override
            public RedditRequestResponse handleResponse(
                    final HttpResponse response) throws IOException, RedditException {
                int statusCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
                HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();

                if (entity == null) {
                    throw new ClientProtocolException("Response contains no content");
                }
                String responseBody = EntityUtils.toString(entity);
                if (statusCode != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
                    throw new RedditException(generateErrorString(statusCode, input, responseBody));
                }               

                return new RedditRequestResponse(statusCode, responseBody);
            }
        };

I'd like to throw my own RedditException from handleResponse() that includes the response body. However, when I try that (like in the above code) I get a RedditException not compatible with throws clause error. I suspect this has something to do with the @Override. What exactly is being overridden? The class that contains this method does not inherit from any other class and does not implement any interfaces that I can tell.

If you make your RedditException extend an IOException then you will be able to get around it by keeping the same method signature
