Methods declared in class Throwable

addSuppressed, fillInStackTrace, getLocalizedMessage, getMessage, getStackTrace, getSuppressed, setStackTrace, toString

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
final void	addSuppressed(Throwable exception)	The specified exception is going to be suppressed in order to give priority to this exception (primary exception) and to be appended to the list of suppressed exceptions.
Throwable	fillInStackTrace()	Record in the receiver a walkback from the point where this message was sent.
String	getLocalizedMessage()	Answers the extra information message which was provided when the throwable was created.
String	getMessage()	Answers the extra information message which was provided when the throwable was created.
StackTraceElement[]	getStackTrace()	Answers an array of StackTraceElement.
final Throwable[]	getSuppressed()	Returns an array of exceptions suppressed, typically by the automatically generated code from the try-with-resources statement, in order to give priority to this exception (primary exception).
void	setStackTrace(StackTraceElement[] trace)	Sets the array of StackTraceElements.
String	toString()	Answers a string containing a concise, human-readable description of the receiver.

Methods declared in class Object

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
protected Object	clone()	Answers a new instance of the same class as the receiver, whose slots have been filled in with the values in the slots of the receiver.
boolean	equals(Object o)	Compares the argument to the receiver, and answers true if they represent the same object using a class specific comparison.
protected void	finalize()	Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version. May cause performance issues, deadlocks and hangs.

final void	notify()	Causes one thread which is waiting on the receiver to be made ready to run.
final void	notifyAll()	Causes all threads which are waiting on the receiver to be made ready to run.
final void	wait()	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll).
final void	wait(long time)	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll) or the expiration of the timeout.
final void	wait(long time, int frac)	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll) or the expiration of the timeout.

Constructor Details

TransformerException

public TransformerException(String message)

Create a new TransformerException.

Parameters:

message - The error or warning message.

TransformerException

public TransformerException(Throwable e)

Create a new TransformerException wrapping an existing exception.

Parameters:

e - The exception to be wrapped.

TransformerException

public TransformerException(String message,
 Throwable e)

Wrap an existing exception in a TransformerException.

This is used for throwing processor exceptions before the processing has started.

Parameters:

message - The error or warning message, or null to use the message from the embedded exception.

e - Any exception

TransformerException

public TransformerException(String message,
 SourceLocator locator)

Create a new TransformerException from a message and a Locator.

This constructor is especially useful when an application is creating its own exception from within a DocumentHandler callback.

Parameters:

message - The error or warning message.

locator - The locator object for the error or warning.

TransformerException

public TransformerException(String message,
 SourceLocator locator,
 Throwable e)

Wrap an existing exception in a TransformerException.

Parameters:

message - The error or warning message, or null to use the message from the embedded exception.

locator - The locator object for the error or warning.

e - Any exception

Method Details

getLocator

public SourceLocator getLocator()

Method getLocator retrieves an instance of a SourceLocator object that specifies where an error occurred.

Returns:

A SourceLocator object, or null if none was specified.

setLocator

public void setLocator(SourceLocator location)

Method setLocator sets an instance of a SourceLocator object that specifies where an error occurred.

Parameters:

location - A SourceLocator object, or null to clear the location.

getException

public Throwable getException()

This method retrieves an exception that this exception wraps.

Returns:

An Throwable object, or null.

See Also:

• getCause()

getCause

public Throwable getCause()

Returns the cause of this throwable or null if the cause is nonexistent or unknown. (The cause is the throwable that caused this throwable to get thrown.)

Overrides:

getCause in class Throwable

Returns:

the cause, or null if unknown

initCause

public Throwable initCause(Throwable cause)

Initializes the cause of this throwable to the specified value. (The cause is the throwable that caused this throwable to get thrown.)

This method can be called at most once. It is generally called from within the constructor, or immediately after creating the throwable. If this throwable was created with TransformerException(Throwable) or TransformerException(String,Throwable), this method cannot be called even once.

Overrides:

initCause in class Throwable

Parameters:

cause - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the getCause() method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

Returns:

a reference to this Throwable instance.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if cause is this throwable. (A throwable cannot be its own cause.)

IllegalStateException - if this throwable was created with TransformerException(Throwable) or TransformerException(String,Throwable), or this method has already been called on this throwable.

getMessageAndLocation

public String getMessageAndLocation()

Get the error message with location information appended.

Returns:

A String representing the error message with location information appended.

getLocationAsString

public String getLocationAsString()

Get the location information as a string.

Returns:

A string with location info, or null if there is no location information.

printStackTrace

public void printStackTrace()

Print the trace of methods from where the error originated. This will trace all nested exception objects, as well as this object.

Overrides:

printStackTrace in class Throwable

printStackTrace

public void printStackTrace(PrintStream s)

Print the trace of methods from where the error originated. This will trace all nested exception objects, as well as this object.

Overrides:

printStackTrace in class Throwable

Parameters:

s - The stream where the dump will be sent to.

printStackTrace

public void printStackTrace(PrintWriter s)

Print the trace of methods from where the error originated. This will trace all nested exception objects, as well as this object.

Overrides:

printStackTrace in class Throwable

Parameters:

s - The writer where the dump will be sent to.
