Class ParsingException

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
ValidityException

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.

      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

      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

      Creates a new ParsingException with a detail message.

      Parameters:
      message - a string indicating the specific problem
  • Method Details

    • 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
    • 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
    • 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.

      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
    • getCause

      public Throwable getCause()

      Returns the underlying exception that caused this exception.

      Overrides:
      getCause in class Throwable
      Returns:
      the root exception that caused this exception to be thrown
    • toString

      public String toString()

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

      Overrides:
      toString in class Throwable
      Returns:
      an exception message suitable for display to a developer
