Constructor Summary

Constructor	Description
`UnsupportedOperationException()`	Constructs a new `UnsupportedOperationException` with `null` as its detail message.
`UnsupportedOperationException(String message)`	Constructs a new `UnsupportedOperationException` with the specified detail message.
`UnsupportedOperationException(String message, Throwable cause)`	Constructs a new `UnsupportedOperationException` with the specified detail message and cause.
`UnsupportedOperationException(Throwable cause)`	Constructs a new `UnsupportedOperationException` with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of `cause`).

Method Summary

Methods declared in class Throwable

addSuppressed, fillInStackTrace, getCause, getLocalizedMessage, getMessage, getStackTrace, getSuppressed, initCause, printStackTrace, printStackTrace, printStackTrace, setStackTrace, toString

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`final void`	`addSuppressed(Throwable exception)`	Appends the specified exception to the exceptions that were suppressed in order to deliver this exception.
`Throwable`	`fillInStackTrace()`	Fills in the execution stack trace.
`Throwable`	`getCause()`	Returns the cause of this throwable or `null` if the cause is nonexistent or unknown.
`String`	`getLocalizedMessage()`	Creates a localized description of this throwable.
`String`	`getMessage()`	Returns the detail message string of this throwable.
`StackTraceElement[]`	`getStackTrace()`	Provides programmatic access to the stack trace information printed by `Throwable.printStackTrace()`.
`final Throwable[]`	`getSuppressed()`	Returns an array containing all of the exceptions that were suppressed, typically by the `try`-with-resources statement, in order to deliver this exception.
`Throwable`	`initCause(Throwable cause)`	Initializes the cause of this throwable to the specified value.
`void`	`printStackTrace()`	Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the standard error stream.
`void`	`printStackTrace(PrintStream s)`	Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print stream.
`void`	`printStackTrace(PrintWriter s)`	Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print writer.
`void`	`setStackTrace(StackTraceElement[] stackTrace)`	Sets the stack trace elements that will be returned by `Throwable.getStackTrace()` and printed by `Throwable.printStackTrace()` and related methods.
`String`	`toString()`	Returns a short description of this throwable.

Methods declared in class Object

clone, equals, finalize, getClass, hashCode, notify, notifyAll, wait, wait, wait

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`protected Object`	`clone()`	Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)`	Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`protected void`	`finalize()`	Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version. Finalization is deprecated and subject to removal in a future release.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()`	Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()`	Returns a hash code value for this object.
`final void`	`notify()`	Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()`	Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`wait()`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

Constructor Details

UnsupportedOperationException

public UnsupportedOperationException()

Constructs a new UnsupportedOperationException with null as its detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to Throwable.initCause(Throwable).

UnsupportedOperationException

public UnsupportedOperationException(String message)

Constructs a new UnsupportedOperationException with the specified detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to Throwable.initCause(Throwable).

Parameters:: message - the detail message

UnsupportedOperationException

public UnsupportedOperationException(String message, Throwable cause)

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

Note that the detail message associated with cause 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 the Throwable.getCause() method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
Since:: 1.5

UnsupportedOperationException

public UnsupportedOperationException(Throwable cause)

Constructs a new UnsupportedOperationException 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 the Throwable.getCause() method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
Since:: 1.5
