The
Throwable
class is the superclass of all errors and exceptions in the Java language. Only objects that are instances of this class (or one of its subclasses) are thrown by the Java Virtual Machine or can be thrown by the Java throw
statement. Similarly, only this class or one of its subclasses can be the argument type in a catch
clause. Instances of two subclasses,
Error
and Exception
, are conventionally used to indicate that exceptional situations have occurred. Typically, these instances are freshly created in the context of the exceptional situation so as to include relevant information (such as stack trace data). A throwable contains a snapshot of the execution stack of its thread at the time it was created. It can also contain a message string that gives more information about the error. Finally, it can contain a cause: another throwable that caused this throwable to get thrown. The cause facility is new in release 1.4. It is also known as the chained exception facility, as the cause can, itself, have a cause, and so on, leading to a 'chain' of exceptions, each caused by another.

One reason that a throwable may have a cause is that the class that throws it is built atop a lower layered abstraction, and an operation on the upper layer fails due to a failure in the lower layer. It would be bad design to let the throwable thrown by the lower layer propagate outward, as it is generally unrelated to the abstraction provided by the upper layer. Further, doing so would tie the API of the upper layer to the details of its implementation, assuming the lower layer's exception was a checked exception. Throwing a 'wrapped exception' (i.e., an exception containing a cause) allows the upper layer to communicate the details of the failure to its caller without incurring either of these shortcomings. It preserves the flexibility to change the implementation of the upper layer without changing its API (in particular, the set of exceptions thrown by its methods).
A second reason that a throwable may have a cause is that the method that throws it must conform to a general-purpose interface that does not permit the method to throw the cause directly. For example, suppose a persistent collection conforms to the
Collection
interface, and that its persistence is implemented atop java.io. Suppose the internals of the put method can throw an IOException
. The implementation can communicate the details of the IOException to its caller while conforming to the Collection interface by wrapping the IOException in an appropriate unchecked exception. (The specification for the persistent collection should indicate that it is capable of throwing such exceptions.) A cause can be associated with a throwable in two ways: via a constructor that takes the cause as an argument, or via the
initCause(Throwable)
method. New throwable classes that wish to allow causes to be associated with them should provide constructors that take a cause and delegate (perhaps indirectly) to one of the Throwable constructors that takes a cause. For example: Because the initCause method is public, it allows a cause to be associated with any throwable, even a 'legacy throwable' whose implementation predates the addition of the exception chaining mechanism to Throwable. For example: Prior to release 1.4, there were many throwables that had their own non-standard exception chaining mechanisms (
ExceptionInInitializerError
, ClassNotFoundException
, UndeclaredThrowableException
, InvocationTargetException
, WriteAbortedException
, PrivilegedActionException
, PrinterIOException
, RemoteException
and NamingException
). All of these throwables have been retrofitted to use the standard exception chaining mechanism, while continuing to implement their 'legacy' chaining mechanisms for compatibility. Further, as of release 1.4, many general purpose Throwable classes (for example
Exception
, RuntimeException
, Error
) have been retrofitted with constructors that take a cause. This was not strictly necessary, due to the existence of the initCause method, but it is more convenient and expressive to delegate to a constructor that takes a cause. By convention, class
Throwable
and its subclasses have two constructors, one that takes no arguments and one that takes a String
argument that can be used to produce a detail message. Further, those subclasses that might likely have a cause associated with them should have two more constructors, one that takes a Throwable
(the cause), and one that takes a String
(the detail message) and a Throwable
(the cause). Also introduced in release 1.4 is the
getStackTrace()
method, which allows programmatic access to the stack trace information that was previously available only in text form, via the various forms of the printStackTrace()
method. This information has been added to the serialized representation of this class so getStackTrace and printStackTrace will operate properly on a throwable that was obtained by deserialization.- Since:
- JDK1.0
- See Also:
- Serialized Form

Throwable
Constructs a new throwable withnull
as its detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to initCause(java.lang.Throwable)
. The
fillInStackTrace()
method is called to initialize the stack trace data in the newly created throwable.Throwable
Constructs a new throwable with the specified detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call toinitCause(java.lang.Throwable)
. The
fillInStackTrace()
method is called to initialize the stack trace data in the newly created throwable.- Parameters:
message
- the detail message. The detail message is saved for later retrieval by thegetMessage()
method.
Throwable
Constructs a new throwable with the specified detail message and cause.Note that the detail message associated with
cause
is not automatically incorporated in this throwable's detail message. The
fillInStackTrace()
method is called to initialize the stack trace data in the newly created throwable.- Parameters:
message
- the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by thegetMessage()
method).cause
- the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by thegetCause()
method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)- Since:
- 1.4
Throwable
Constructs a new throwable with the specified cause and a detail message of (causenull ? null : cause.toString()) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause). This constructor is useful for throwables that are little more than wrappers for other throwables (for example,PrivilegedActionException
). The
fillInStackTrace()
method is called to initialize the stack trace data in the newly created throwable.- Parameters:
cause
- the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by thegetCause()
method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)- Since:
- 1.4
Method Detail |
---|
getMessage
- Returns the detail message string of this throwable.
- Returns:
- the detail message string of this Throwable instance (which may be null).
getLocalizedMessage
- Creates a localized description of this throwable. Subclasses may override this method in order to produce a locale-specific message. For subclasses that do not override this method, the default implementation returns the same result as
getMessage()
. - Returns:
- The localized description of this throwable.
- Since:
- JDK1.1
getCause
Returns the cause of this throwable ornull
if the cause is nonexistent or unknown. (The cause is the throwable that caused this throwable to get thrown.) This implementation returns the cause that was supplied via one of the constructors requiring a Throwable, or that was set after creation with the
initCause(Throwable)
method. While it is typically unnecessary to override this method, a subclass can override it to return a cause set by some other means. This is appropriate for a 'legacy chained throwable' that predates the addition of chained exceptions to Throwable. Note that it is not necessary to override any of the PrintStackTrace methods, all of which invoke the getCause method to determine the cause of a throwable.- Returns:
- the cause of this throwable or
null
if the cause is nonexistent or unknown. - Since:
- 1.4
initCause
Initializes the cause of this throwable to the specified value. (The cause is the throwable that caused this throwable to get thrown.)This method can be called at most once. It is generally called from within the constructor, or immediately after creating the throwable. If this throwable was created with
Throwable(Throwable)
or Throwable(String,Throwable)
, this method cannot be called even once.- Parameters:
cause
- the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by thegetCause()
method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)- Returns:
- a reference to this
Throwable
instance. - Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- ifcause
is this throwable. (A throwable cannot be its own cause.)IllegalStateException
- if this throwable was created withThrowable(Throwable)
orThrowable(String,Throwable)
, or this method has already been called on this throwable.- Since:
- 1.4

toString
Returns a short description of this throwable. If thisThrowable
object was created with a non-null detail message string, then the result is the concatenation of three strings: - The name of the actual class of this object
- ': ' (a colon and a space)
- The result of the
getMessage()
method for this object
Throwable
object was created with a null detail message string, then the name of the actual class of this object is returned.- Overrides:
toString
in classObject
- Returns:
- a string representation of this throwable.
printStackTrace
- Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the standard error stream. This method prints a stack trace for this
Throwable
object on the error output stream that is the value of the fieldSystem.err
. The first line of output contains the result of thetoString()
method for this object. Remaining lines represent data previously recorded by the methodfillInStackTrace()
. The format of this information depends on the implementation, but the following example may be regarded as typical: This example was produced by running the program: The backtrace for a throwable with an initialized, non-null cause should generally include the backtrace for the cause. The format of this information depends on the implementation, but the following example may be regarded as typical: Note the presence of lines containing the characters '...'. These lines indicate that the remainder of the stack trace for this exception matches the indicated number of frames from the bottom of the stack trace of the exception that was caused by this exception (the 'enclosing' exception). This shorthand can greatly reduce the length of the output in the common case where a wrapped exception is thrown from same method as the 'causative exception' is caught. The above example was produced by running the program:
printStackTrace
- Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print stream.
- Parameters:
s
-PrintStream
to use for output
printStackTrace
- Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print writer.
- Parameters:
s
-PrintWriter
to use for output- Since:
- JDK1.1
fillInStackTrace
- Fills in the execution stack trace. This method records within this
Throwable
object information about the current state of the stack frames for the current thread. - Returns:
- a reference to this
Throwable
instance. - See Also:
printStackTrace()
getStackTrace
Provides programmatic access to the stack trace information printed byprintStackTrace()
. Returns an array of stack trace elements, each representing one stack frame. The zeroth element of the array (assuming the array's length is non-zero) represents the top of the stack, which is the last method invocation in the sequence. Typically, this is the point at which this throwable was created and thrown. The last element of the array (assuming the array's length is non-zero) represents the bottom of the stack, which is the first method invocation in the sequence. Some virtual machines may, under some circumstances, omit one or more stack frames from the stack trace. In the extreme case, a virtual machine that has no stack trace information concerning this throwable is permitted to return a zero-length array from this method. Generally speaking, the array returned by this method will contain one element for every frame that would be printed by printStackTrace.
- Returns:
- an array of stack trace elements representing the stack trace pertaining to this throwable.
- Since:
- 1.4
setStackTrace
- Sets the stack trace elements that will be returned by
getStackTrace()
and printed byprintStackTrace()
and related methods. This method, which is designed for use by RPC frameworks and other advanced systems, allows the client to override the default stack trace that is either generated byfillInStackTrace()
when a throwable is constructed or deserialized when a throwable is read from a serialization stream. - Parameters:
stackTrace
- the stack trace elements to be associated with thisThrowable
. The specified array is copied by this call; changes in the specified array after the method invocation returns will have no affect on thisThrowable
's stack trace.- Throws:
NullPointerException
- ifstackTrace
isnull
, or if any of the elements ofstackTrace
arenull
- Since:
- 1.4
