/** * Common superclass of exceptions thrown by reflective operations in * core reflection. * * @see LinkageError * @since 1.7 */
public class ReflectiveOperationException extends Exception { @java.io.Serial static final long serialVersionUID = 123456789L;
Constructs a new exception with null as its detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to Throwable.initCause.
/** * Constructs a new exception with {@code null} as its detail * message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be * initialized by a call to {@link #initCause}. */
public ReflectiveOperationException() { super(); }
Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to Throwable.initCause.
Params:
  • message – the detail message. The detail message is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getMessage() method.
/** * Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message. * The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be * initialized by a call to {@link #initCause}. * * @param message the detail message. The detail message is saved for * later retrieval by the {@link #getMessage()} method. */
public ReflectiveOperationException(String message) { super(message); }
Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause.

Note that the detail message associated with cause is not automatically incorporated in 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.)

public ReflectiveOperationException(String message, Throwable cause) { super(message, cause); }
Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail message of (cause==null ? null : cause.toString()) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause).
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.)
/** * Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail * message of {@code (cause==null ? null : cause.toString())} (which * typically contains the class and detail message of {@code cause}). * * @param cause the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the * {@link #getCause()} method).
