Constructor Details

GeneralException

public GeneralException()

Creates new GeneralException without detail message.

GeneralException

public GeneralException(String msg)

Constructs an GeneralException with the specified detail message.

Parameters:

msg - the detail message.

GeneralException

public GeneralException(String msg,
 Throwable nested)

Constructs an GeneralException with the specified detail message and nested Exception.

Parameters:

msg - the detail message.

public GeneralException(Throwable nested)

Method Details

getMessage

public String getMessage()

Returns the detail message, including the message from the nested exception if there is one.

Overrides:

getMessage in class Throwable

getNonNestedMessage

public String getNonNestedMessage()

Returns the detail message, NOT including the message from the nested exception.

getNested

public Throwable getNested()

Returns the nested exception if there is one, or this if there is not.

Note: In earlier versions, this class incorrectly documented that it returned null when there was no nested exception. This was a lie; it has always returned this for that case. Note also that this behaviour is not consistent with that of GeneralRuntimeException.

printStackTrace

public void printStackTrace()

Prints the composite message to System.err.

Overrides:

printStackTrace in class Throwable

printStackTrace

public void printStackTrace(PrintStream ps)

Prints the composite message and the embedded stack trace to the specified stream ps.

Overrides:

printStackTrace in class Throwable

printStackTrace

public void printStackTrace(PrintWriter pw)

Prints the composite message and the embedded stack trace to the specified print writer pw.

Overrides:

printStackTrace in class Throwable
