public class IOException extends Exception { static final long serialVersionUID = 7818375828146090155L;
Constructs an IOException with null as its error detail message.
/** * Constructs an {@code IOException} with {@code null} * as its error detail message. */
public IOException() { super(); }
Constructs an IOException with the specified detail message.
Params:
/** * Constructs an {@code IOException} with the specified detail message. * * @param message * The detail message (which is saved for later retrieval * by the {@link #getMessage()} method) */
public IOException(String message) { super(message); }
Constructs an IOException with the specified detail message and cause.

Note that the detail message associated with cause is not automatically incorporated into this exception's detail message.

Params:
  • message – The detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getMessage() method)
  • cause – The cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getCause() method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
Since:1.6

public IOException(String message, Throwable cause) { super(message, cause); }
Constructs an IOException with the specified cause and a detail message of (cause==null ? null : cause.toString()) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause). This constructor is useful for IO exceptions that are little more than wrappers for other throwables.
Params:
  • cause – The cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getCause() method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
