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 {@code throw} statement. Similarly, only this class or one of its * subclasses can be the argument type in a {@code catch} clause. * * For the purposes of compile-time checking of exceptions, {@code Throwable} * and any subclass of {@code Throwable} that is not also a subclass of either * {@link RuntimeException} or {@link Error} are regarded as checked exceptions. * * <p> * Instances of two subclasses, {@link java.lang.Error} and * {@link java.lang.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). * * <p> * 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. Over time, a throwable can * {@linkplain Throwable#addSuppressed suppress} other throwables from being * propagated. Finally, the throwable can also contain a <i>cause</i>: another * throwable that caused this throwable to be constructed. The recording of this * causal information is referred to as the <i>chained exception</i> facility, * as the cause can, itself, have a cause, and so on, leading to a "chain" of * exceptions, each caused by another. * * <p> * 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). * * <p> * 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 {@link java.util.Collection Collection} interface, * and that its persistence is implemented atop {@code java.io}. Suppose the * internals of the {@code add} method can throw an {@link java.io.IOException * IOException}. The implementation can communicate the details of the * {@code IOException} to its caller while conforming to the {@code Collection} * interface by wrapping the {@code IOException} in an appropriate unchecked * exception. (The specification for the persistent collection should indicate * that it is capable of throwing such exceptions.) * * <p> * A cause can be associated with a throwable in two ways: via a constructor * that takes the cause as an argument, or via the {@link #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 {@code Throwable} constructors that takes a cause. * * Because the {@code 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 * {@code Throwable}. * * <p> * By convention, class {@code Throwable} and its subclasses have two * constructors, one that takes no arguments and one that takes a {@code 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 {@code Throwable} (the cause), and * one that takes a {@code String} (the detail message) and a {@code Throwable} * (the cause). * * @author unascribed * @author Josh Bloch (Added exception chaining and programmatic access to stack * trace in 1.4.) * @jls 11.2 Compile-Time Checking of Exceptions * @since JDK1.0 */ public class Throwable implements Serializable { /** use serialVersionUID from JDK 1.0.2 for interoperability */ private static final long serialVersionUID = -3042686055658047285L; /** * Native code saves some indication of the stack backtrace in this slot. */ private transient Object backtrace; /** * Specific details about the Throwable.
