public class InvalidPathException extends IllegalArgumentException { static final long serialVersionUID = 4355821422286746137L; private String input; private int index;
Constructs an instance from the given input string, reason, and error index.
Params:
  • input – the input string
  • reason – a string explaining why the input was rejected
  • index – the index at which the error occurred, or -1 if the index is not known
Throws:
/** * Constructs an instance from the given input string, reason, and error * index. * * @param input the input string * @param reason a string explaining why the input was rejected * @param index the index at which the error occurred, * or {@code -1} if the index is not known * * @throws NullPointerException * if either the input or reason strings are {@code null} * * @throws IllegalArgumentException * if the error index is less than {@code -1} */

Constructs an instance from the given input string and reason. The resulting object will have an error index of -1.
Params:
  • input – the input string
  • reason – a string explaining why the input was rejected
Throws:
/** * Constructs an instance from the given input string and reason.

Returns the input string.
Returns: the input string

Returns a string explaining why the input string was rejected.
Returns: the reason string
/** * Returns a string explaining why the input string was rejected. * * @return the reason string */

Returns an index into the input string of the position at which the error occurred, or -1 if this position is not known.
Returns: the error index
/** * Returns an index into the input string of the position at which the * error occurred, or {@code -1} if this position is not known. * * @return the error index */

Returns a string describing the error. The resulting string consists of the reason string followed by a colon character (':'), a space, and the input string. If the error index is defined then the string " at index " followed by the index, in decimal, is inserted after the reason string and before the colon character.
Returns: a string describing the error
