Description

The {@code Throwable} class is the superclass of all errors and
exceptions in the Java language. Only objects that are instances of this
class (or one of its subclasses) are thrown by the Java Virtual Machine or
can be thrown by the Java {@code throw} statement. Similarly, only
this class or one of its subclasses can be the argument type in a
{@code catch} clause.

For the purposes of compile-time checking of exceptions, {@code
Throwable} and any subclass of {@code Throwable} that is not also a
subclass of either {@link RuntimeException} or {@link Error} are
regarded as checked exceptions.

Instances of two subclasses, {@link java.lang.Error} and
{@link java.lang.Exception}, are conventionally used to indicate
that exceptional situations have occurred. Typically, these instances
are freshly created in the context of the exceptional situation so
as to include relevant information (such as stack trace data).

A throwable contains a snapshot of the execution stack of its
thread at the time it was created. It can also contain a message
string that gives more information about the error. Over time, a
throwable can {@linkplain Throwable#addSuppressed suppress} other
throwables from being propagated. Finally, the throwable can also
contain a cause: another throwable that caused this
throwable to be constructed. The recording of this causal information
is referred to as the chained exception facility, as the
cause can, itself, have a cause, and so on, leading to a "chain" of
exceptions, each caused by another.

One reason that a throwable may have a cause is that the class that
throws it is built atop a lower layered abstraction, and an operation on
the upper layer fails due to a failure in the lower layer. It would be bad
design to let the throwable thrown by the lower layer propagate outward, as
it is generally unrelated to the abstraction provided by the upper layer.
Further, doing so would tie the API of the upper layer to the details of
its implementation, assuming the lower layer's exception was a checked
exception. Throwing a "wrapped exception" (i.e., an exception containing a
cause) allows the upper layer to communicate the details of the failure to
its caller without incurring either of these shortcomings. It preserves
the flexibility to change the implementation of the upper layer without
changing its API (in particular, the set of exceptions thrown by its
methods).

A second reason that a throwable may have a cause is that the method
that throws it must conform to a general-purpose interface that does not
permit the method to throw the cause directly. For example, suppose
a persistent collection conforms to the {@link java.util.Collection
Collection} interface, and that its persistence is implemented atop
{@code java.io}. Suppose the internals of the {@code add} method
can throw an {@link java.io.IOException IOException}. The implementation
can communicate the details of the {@code IOException} to its caller
while conforming to the {@code Collection} interface by wrapping the
{@code IOException} in an appropriate unchecked exception. (The
specification for the persistent collection should indicate that it is
capable of throwing such exceptions.)

A cause can be associated with a throwable in two ways: via a
constructor that takes the cause as an argument, or via the
{@link #initCause(Throwable)} method. New throwable classes that
wish to allow causes to be associated with them should provide constructors
that take a cause and delegate (perhaps indirectly) to one of the
{@code Throwable} constructors that takes a cause.

Because the {@code initCause} method is public, it allows a cause to be
associated with any throwable, even a "legacy throwable" whose
implementation predates the addition of the exception chaining mechanism to
{@code Throwable}.

By convention, class {@code Throwable} and its subclasses have two
constructors, one that takes no arguments and one that takes a
{@code String} argument that can be used to produce a detail message.
Further, those subclasses that might likely have a cause associated with
them should have two more constructors, one that takes a
{@code Throwable} (the cause), and one that takes a
{@code String} (the detail message) and a {@code Throwable} (the
cause).

Constructor

constructor(args: any[])

Constructs a new throwable with {@code null} as its detail message.
The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a
call to {@link #initCause}.

The {@link #fillInStackTrace()} method is called to initialize
the stack trace data in the newly created throwable.
Constructs a new throwable with the specified detail message. The
cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by
a call to {@link #initCause}.

The {@link #fillInStackTrace()} method is called to initialize
the stack trace data in the newly created throwable.
Constructs a new throwable with the specified detail message and
cause.

Note that the detail message associated with
{@code cause} is not automatically incorporated in
this throwable's detail message.

The {@link #fillInStackTrace()} method is called to initialize
the stack trace data in the newly created throwable.
Constructs a new throwable with the specified cause and a detail
message of {@code (cause==null ? null : cause.toString())} (which
typically contains the class and detail message of {@code cause}).
This constructor is useful for throwables that are little more than
wrappers for other throwables (for example, {@link
java.security.PrivilegedActionException}).

The {@link #fillInStackTrace()} method is called to initialize
the stack trace data in the newly created throwable.
Constructs a new throwable with the specified detail message,
cause, {@linkplain #addSuppressed suppression} enabled or
disabled, and writable stack trace enabled or disabled. If
suppression is disabled, {@link #getSuppressed} for this object
will return a zero-length array and calls to {@link

#addSuppressed} that would otherwise append an exception to the
suppressed list will have no effect. If the writable stack
trace is false, this constructor will not call {@link

#fillInStackTrace()}, a {@code null} will be written to the
{@code stackTrace} field, and subsequent calls to {@code
fillInStackTrace} and {@link

#setStackTrace(StackTraceElement[])} will not set the stack
trace. If the writable stack trace is false, {@link

#getStackTrace} will return a zero length array.

Note that the other constructors of {@code Throwable} treat
suppression as being enabled and the stack trace as being
writable. Subclasses of {@code Throwable} should document any
conditions under which suppression is disabled and document
conditions under which the stack trace is not writable.
Disabling of suppression should only occur in exceptional
circumstances where special requirements exist, such as a
virtual machine reusing exception objects under low-memory
situations. Circumstances where a given exception object is
repeatedly caught and rethrown, such as to implement control
flow between two sub-systems, is another situation where
immutable throwable objects would be appropriate.

Methods

Public getCause
getCause()

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

This implementation returns the cause that was supplied via one of
the constructors requiring a {@code Throwable}, or that was set after
creation with the {@link #initCause(Throwable)} method. While it is
typically unnecessary to override this method, a subclass can override
it to return a cause set by some other means. This is appropriate for
a "legacy chained throwable" that predates the addition of chained
exceptions to {@code Throwable}. Note that it is not
necessary to override any of the {@code PrintStackTrace} methods,
all of which invoke the {@code getCause} method to determine the
cause of a throwable.

Returns: JThrowable
Public getMessage
getMessage()

Returns the detail message string of this throwable.

Returns: string
Public toString
toString()

Returns a short description of this throwable.
The result is the concatenation of:

  • the {@linkplain Class#getName() name} of the class of this object

  • ": " (a colon and a space)

  • the result of invoking this object's {@link #getLocalizedMessage}
    method

If {@code getLocalizedMessage} returns {@code null}, then just
the class name is returned.

Returns: string
