Class PrivilegedActionException

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public class PrivilegedActionException
extends Exception

This exception is thrown by doPrivileged(PrivilegedExceptionAction) and doPrivileged(PrivilegedExceptionAction, AccessControlContext context) to indicate that the action being performed threw a checked exception. The exception thrown by the action can be obtained by calling the getException method. In effect, an PrivilegedActionException is a "wrapper" for an exception thrown by a privileged action.

As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism. The "exception thrown by the privileged computation" that is provided at construction time and accessed via the getException() method is now known as the cause, and may be accessed via the Throwable.getCause() method, as well as the aforementioned "legacy method."

Parameters:
exception - The exception thrown
Method Detail

getException

public Exception getException()
Returns the exception thrown by the privileged computation that resulted in this PrivilegedActionException.

This method predates the general-purpose exception chaining facility. The Throwable.getCause() method is now the preferred means of obtaining this information.

Returns:
the exception thrown by the privileged computation that resulted in this PrivilegedActionException.

PrivilegedExceptionAction, AccessController.doPrivileged(PrivilegedExceptionAction), AccessController.doPrivileged(PrivilegedExceptionAction, AccessControlContext)

getCause

public Throwable getCause()
Returns the cause of this exception (the exception thrown by the privileged computation that resulted in this PrivilegedActionException).

Overrides:
getCause in class Throwable
Returns:
the cause of this exception.
Since:
1.4

toString

public String toString()
Description copied from class: Throwable
Returns a short description of this throwable. The result is the concatenation of: If getLocalizedMessage returns null, then just the class name is returned.

Overrides:
toString in class Throwable
Returns:
a string representation of this throwable.
