Constructor Detail

CustomException

public CustomException()

Constructs a new exception with null as its detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to Throwable.initCause(java.lang.Throwable). Just uses the super-class constructor.

CustomException

public CustomException(java.lang.String message)

Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to Throwable.initCause(java.lang.Throwable). Just calls the corresponding super-class constructor.

Parameters:

message - - The detail message. The detail message is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getMessage() method.

CustomException

public CustomException(java.lang.String message,
                       java.lang.Throwable cause)

Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause. Just uses the appropriate super-class constructor.

Note that the detail message associated with cause is not automatically incorporated in this exception's detail message.

Parameters:

message - - The detail message. The detail message is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getMessage() method.

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

CustomException

public CustomException(java.lang.Throwable cause)

Constructs a new exception with the specified cause. The detail message is set as ( cause==null ? null : cause.toString() ) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause). This constructor is useful for exceptions that are little more than wrappers for other throwables (for example, PrivilegedActionException). Just uses the appropriate super-class constructor.

Parameters:

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