Does the Try-Catch Block have to encompass everywhere a Variable is used, if Variable initialization itself requires Try-Catch Block? [duplicate]

I'm asking out of a "this can't be right" kind of mindset. This is the Code I'm trying to write:

final Socket client; // Constructor public ClientHandler(Socket client) { this.client = client; } @Override public void run() { // Instantiating Readers and Writers InputStreamReader binaryReader; //for primitive Datatypes DataOutputStream binaryWriter; //for primitive Datatypes BufferedReader asciiReader; //for ASCII Strings PrintWriter asciiWriter; //for ASCII Strings // Assigning Readers and Writers boolean IOInitialized = false; while (!IOInitialized) { try { binaryReader = new InputStreamReader(client.getInputStream()); binaryWriter = new DataOutputStream(client.getOutputStream()); asciiReader = new BufferedReader(binaryReader); asciiWriter = new PrintWriter(client.getOutputStream()); IOInitialized = true; } catch (IOException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } } //Testing asciiWriter.println("Testing Writer"); } 

I'm trying to initialize IOStreams from a Socket. Their initialisation requires a Try-Catch block, and using the new IOStreams requires a guarantee that they're initialized, which I solved with the while loop but the compiler doesn't accept this. When trying to use the asciiWriter to print something to the Client, the compiler tells me that "asciiWriter might not have been initialized". Encompassing the entire run()-method would solve the problem but seems like a very unclean solution. Is there any way I can get this to work in a better way?
