Class ParsingException

public class ParsingException extends Exception

The generic superclass for all the checked exceptions thrown in XOM. The general principle followed is that anything that could plausibly be detected by testing such as using spaces in an element name is a runtime exception. Exceptions that depend on environmental conditions, such as might occur when parsing an external file, are checked exceptions, because these depend on variable input, and thus problems may not all be detected during testing.

Constructor Detail

ParsingException

public ParsingException(String message, Throwable cause)

Creates a new ParsingException with a detail message and an underlying root cause.

Parameters: message a string indicating the specific problem cause the original cause of this exception

ParsingException

public ParsingException(String message, String uri, Throwable cause)

Creates a new ParsingException with a detail message and an underlying root cause.

Parameters: message a string indicating the specific problem uri the URI of the document that caused this exception cause the original cause of this exception

ParsingException

public ParsingException(String message, int lineNumber, int columnNumber)

Creates a new ParsingException with a detail message and line and column numbers.

Parameters: message a string indicating the specific problem lineNumber the approximate line number where the problem occurs columnNumber the approximate column number where the problem occurs

ParsingException

public ParsingException(String message, String uri, int lineNumber, int columnNumber)

Creates a new ParsingException with a detail message and line and column numbers.

Parameters: message a string indicating the specific problem uri the URI of the document that caused this exception lineNumber the approximate line number where the problem occurs columnNumber the approximate column number where the problem occurs

ParsingException

public ParsingException(String message, String uri, int lineNumber, int columnNumber, Throwable cause)

Creates a new ParsingException with a detail message, line and column numbers, and an underlying exception.

Parameters: message a string indicating the specific problem uri the URI of the document that caused this exception lineNumber the approximate line number where the problem occurs columnNumber the approximate column number where the problem occurs cause the original cause of this exception

ParsingException

public ParsingException(String message, int lineNumber, int columnNumber, Throwable cause)

Creates a new ParsingException with a detail message, line and column numbers, and an underlying exception.

Parameters: message a string indicating the specific problem lineNumber the approximate line number where the problem occurs columnNumber the approximate column number where the problem occurs cause the original cause of this exception

ParsingException

public ParsingException(String message)

Creates a new ParsingException with a detail message.

Parameters: message a string indicating the specific problem

Method Detail

getCause

public Throwable getCause()

Returns the underlying exception that caused this exception.

Returns: the root exception that caused this exception to be thrown

getColumnNumber

public int getColumnNumber()

Returns the approximate column number of the construct that caused this exception. If the column number is not known, -1 is returned.

Returns: column number where the exception occurred

getLineNumber

public int getLineNumber()

Returns the approximate row number of the construct that caused this exception. If the row number is not known, -1 is returned.

Returns: row number where the exception occurred

getURI

public String getURI()

Returns the system ID (generally a URL) of the document that caused this exception. If this is not known, for instance because the document was parsed from a raw input stream or from a string, it returns null.

Returns: the URI of the document that caused this exception

initCause

public final Throwable initCause(Throwable cause)

Sets the root cause of this exception. This may only be called once. Subsequent calls throw an IllegalStateException.

This method is unnecessary in Java 1.4 where it could easily be inherited from the superclass. However, including it here allows this method to be used in Java 1.3 and earlier.

Parameters: cause the root cause of this exception

Returns: this XMLException

Throws: IllegalArgumentException if the cause is this exception (An exception cannot be its own cause.) IllegalStateException if this method is called twice

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string suitable for display to the developer summarizing what went wrong where.

Returns: an exception message suitable for display to a developer
