  • Method Details

    • getCause

      public Throwable getCause()

      Return the original cause that led to this exception, or null if there was no original exception.

      Overrides:
      getCause in class Throwable
      Returns:
      the root cause of this exception
    • initCause

      public 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.

      Overrides:
      initCause in class Throwable
      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
    • getXPath

      public String getXPath()

      Returns the specific XPath expression being evaluated when this excepiton was thrown.

      Returns:
      the XPath expression that caused the exception
