Class JavaDocError

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable

    public class JavaDocError
    extends java.lang.Error
    General Purpose Program Flow Error.

    This class is used by the JavaDoc Package to identify when the JavaDoc Documentation Tool has generated a class that is either not well formatted HTML, or has seemed to leave out one of the major sections or summaries on the HTML Page that it has generated. There have been situations that have come up when extremely complex documentation, sort of, forced JavaDoc to output a not-so-well-formatted HTML Page. The resulting HTML Page that it output actually lacked a proper "Method Summary" section. Generally, this should not happen, but if it does, please review the documentation that you have added to your classes. JavaDoc does not handle Code Documentation with HTML that has added "divider" (DIV) elements. Sometimes they will work, but occasionally there will be mistakes.

      • serialVersionUID

        public static final long serialVersionUID
        This fulfils the SerialVersion UID requirement for all classes that implement Java's interface java.io.Serializable. Using the Serializable Implementation offered by java is very easy, and can make saving program state when debugging a lot easier. It can also be used in place of more complicated systems like "hibernate" to store data as well.

        Note that Java's java.lang.Exception and java.lang.Error classes implement the Serializable interface, and a warning-free build expects this field be defined here.

    • Constructor Detail

      • JavaDocError

        public JavaDocError()
        Constructs a new JavaDocError with 'null' as its detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to Throwable.initCause(java.lang.Throwable).
      • JavaDocError

        public JavaDocError​(java.lang.String message)
        Constructs a new JavaDocError with null as its detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to Throwable.initCause(java.lang.Throwable).
        Parameters:
        message - the detail message. The detail message is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getMessage() method.
      • JavaDocError

        public JavaDocError​(java.lang.String message,
                            java.lang.Throwable cause)
        Constructs a new JavaDocError with the specified detail message and cause.

        NOTE: The detail message associated with cause is not automatically incorporated in this error's detail message.
        Parameters:
        message - the detail message. The detail message 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.)
      • JavaDocError

        public JavaDocError​(java.lang.Throwable cause)
        Constructs a new JavaDocError 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 errors that are little more than wrappers for other throwables.
        Parameters:
        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.)
