Compile Error Help needed

[MarkShark]

How do I fix the part of code for the following error code:

Exception java.io.IOException must be caught, or it must be declared in the throws clause of this method.

ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());

From the area of my servlet below:

private void handleException(HttpServletResponse response, Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
out.writeObject(e.getMessage());
out.flush();
out.close();
}

Try:

  private void handleException(HttpServletResponse response, Exception e)
    {
         e.printStackTrace();
         ObjectOutputStream out;
         try {
           out = new ObjectOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
           out.writeObject(e.getMessage());
           out.flush();
         }
         catch (IOException ioe) {
           /* Do whatever error handling */
         }
         finally {
           out.close();
         }
    }
