Class DOMException

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Throwable

java.lang.Exception

java.lang.RuntimeException

org.w3c.dom.DOMException

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class DOMException
extends RuntimeException

DOM operations only raise exceptions in "exceptional" circumstances, i.e., when an operation is impossible to perform (either for logical reasons, because data is lost, or because the implementation has become unstable). In general, DOM methods return specific error values in ordinary processing situations, such as out-of-bound errors when using NodeList.

Implementations should raise other exceptions under other circumstances. For example, implementations should raise an implementation-dependent exception if a null argument is passed when null was not expected.

Some languages and object systems do not support the concept of exceptions. For such systems, error conditions may be indicated using native error reporting mechanisms. For some bindings, for example, methods may return error codes similar to those listed in the corresponding method descriptions.

Method Summary

Methods declared in class Throwable

addSuppressed, fillInStackTrace, getCause, getLocalizedMessage, getMessage, getStackTrace, getSuppressed, initCause, printStackTrace, printStackTrace, printStackTrace, 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.
Throwable	getCause()	Answers the cause of this Throwable, or null if there is no cause.
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).
Throwable	initCause(Throwable throwable)	Initialize the cause of the receiver.
void	printStackTrace()	Outputs a printable representation of the receiver's walkback on the System.err stream.
void	printStackTrace(PrintStream err)	Outputs a printable representation of the receiver's walkback on the stream specified by the argument.
void	printStackTrace(PrintWriter err)	Outputs a printable representation of the receiver's walkback on the writer specified by the argument.
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

clone, equals, finalize, getClass, hashCode, notify, notifyAll, wait, wait, wait

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 Class<? extends Object>	getClass()	Answers the unique instance of java.lang.Class which represents the class of the receiver.
int	hashCode()	Answers an integer hash code for the receiver.
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.
