Exception

public Exception()

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).

Exception

public Exception(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).

Parameters:

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

Exception

public Exception(String message, Throwable cause)

Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause.

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

Parameters:

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

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

Since:

1.4

Exception

public Exception(Throwable cause)

Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail message of (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).

Parameters:

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

Since:

1.4
