}

private void addStock() throws Exception {
  final String url_s = newSymbolTextBox.getText().toUpperCase().trim();
  newSymbolTextBox.setFocus(true);
  newSymbolTextBox.setText("");
  int row = stocksFlexTable.getRowCount();


  CalaisClient client = new CalaisRestClient("ysw5rx69jkvdnzqf6sgjduqj");
    System.out.print("read success...\n");
     URL url = new URL(url_s);    
     CalaisResponse response = client.analyze(url);         
        for (CalaisObject entity : response.getEntities()) {
            System.out.println(entity.getField("_type") + ":" 
                               + entity.getField("name"));
            stocks.add(entity.getField("_type"));
            stocksFlexTable.setText(row, 0, entity.getField("_type"));
            stocksFlexTable.setText(row, 1, entity.getField("name"));
          }

        for (CalaisObject topic : response.getTopics()) {
            System.out.println(topic.getField("categoryName"));
          }

}

}

GWT only handles unchecked exceptions so you can throw Runtime Exceptions

or write your own Exception that extends from Runtime Exception then it will not cause any compile time problem

void f() throws NullPointerException // will not cause any problem because it is Runtime exception so unchecked

void f() throws IllegalAccessException // it is checked exception so there will be problem at compile time
