Class UndeclaredThrowableException

java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable

public class UndeclaredThrowableException extends RuntimeException

Thrown by a method invocation on a proxy instance if its invocation handler's invoke method throws a checked exception (a Throwable that is not assignable to RuntimeException or Error) that is not assignable to any of the exception types declared in the throws clause of the method that was invoked on the proxy instance and dispatched to the invocation handler.

An UndeclaredThrowableException instance contains the undeclared checked exception that was thrown by the invocation handler, and it can be retrieved with the getUndeclaredThrowable() method. UndeclaredThrowableException extends RuntimeException, so it is an unchecked exception that wraps a checked exception.

Parameters:: undeclaredThrowable - the undeclared checked exception that was thrown, may be null; s - the detail message, may be null

Method Details

getUndeclaredThrowable

public Throwable getUndeclaredThrowable()
