import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Serializable;

An IOException decorator that adds a serializable tag to the wrapped exception. Both the tag and the original exception can be used to determine further processing when this exception is caught.
Since:2.0

private static final long serialVersionUID = -6994123481142850163L;
Checks whether the given throwable is tagged with the given tag.

This check can only succeed if the throwable is a TaggedIOException and the tag is Serializable, but the argument types are intentionally more generic to make it easier to use this method without type casts.

A typical use for this method is in a catch block to determine how a caught exception should be handled:

Serializable tag = ...;
try {
    ...;
} catch (Throwable t) {
    if (TaggedIOExcepton.isTaggedWith(t, tag)) {
        // special processing for tagged exception
    } else {
        // handling of other kinds of exceptions
    }
}
Params:
  • throwable – The Throwable object to check
  • tag – tag object
Returns:true if the throwable has the specified tag, otherwise false

public static boolean isTaggedWith(final Throwable throwable, final Object tag) { return tag != null && throwable instanceof TaggedIOException && tag.equals(((TaggedIOException) throwable).tag); }
Throws the original IOException if the given throwable is a TaggedIOException decorator the given tag. Does nothing if the given throwable is of a different type or if it is tagged with some other tag.

This method is typically used in a catch block to selectively rethrow tagged exceptions.

Serializable tag = ...;
try {
    ...;
} catch (Throwable t) {
    TaggedIOExcepton.throwCauseIfTagged(t, tag);
    // handle other kinds of exceptions
}
Params:
  • throwable – an exception
  • tag – tag object
Throws:
  • IOException – original exception from the tagged decorator, if any

The tag of this exception.
/** * The tag of this exception. */
private final Serializable tag;
Creates a tagged wrapper for the given exception.
Params:
  • original – the exception to be tagged
  • tag – tag of this exception

Returns the serializable tag object.

Returns the wrapped exception. The only difference to the overridden Throwable.getCause() method is the narrower return type.
