DOMException (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0) (original) (raw)
org.w3c.dom
Class DOMException
java.lang.Object
java.lang.Throwable
java.lang.Exception
java.lang.RuntimeException
org.w3c.dom.DOMException
All Implemented Interfaces:
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.

| static short | INVALID_STATE_ERR If an attempt is made to use an object that is not, or is no longer, usable. |
| static short | NAMESPACE_ERR If an attempt is made to create or change an object in a way which is incorrect with regard to namespaces. |

| static short | NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR If an attempt is made to modify an object where modifications are not allowed. |
| static short | NOT_FOUND_ERR If an attempt is made to reference a Node in a context where it does not exist. |
| static short | NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR If the implementation does not support the requested type of object or operation. |
| static short | SYNTAX_ERR If an invalid or illegal string is specified. |
| static short | TYPE_MISMATCH_ERR If the type of an object is incompatible with the expected type of the parameter associated to the object. |
| static short | VALIDATION_ERR If a call to a method such as insertBefore or removeChild would make the Node invalid with respect to "partial validity", this exception would be raised and the operation would not be done. |
| static short | WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR If a Node is used in a different document than the one that created it (that doesn't support it). |
