Public constructors

TransformerException

Added in API level 8
public TransformerException (String message)

Create a new TransformerException.

Parameters
message String: The error or warning message.

TransformerException

Added in API level 8
public TransformerException (Throwable e)

Create a new TransformerException wrapping an existing exception.

Parameters
e Throwable: The exception to be wrapped.

TransformerException

Added in API level 8
public TransformerException (String message, 
                Throwable e)

Wrap an existing exception in a TransformerException.

This is used for throwing processor exceptions before the processing has started.

Parameters
message String: The error or warning message, or null to use the message from the embedded exception.

e Throwable: Any exception

TransformerException

Added in API level 8
public TransformerException (String message, 
                SourceLocator locator)

Create a new TransformerException from a message and a Locator.

This constructor is especially useful when an application is creating its own exception from within a DocumentHandler callback.

Parameters
message String: The error or warning message.

locator SourceLocator: The locator object for the error or warning.

TransformerException

Added in API level 8
public TransformerException (String message, 
                SourceLocator locator, 
                Throwable e)

Wrap an existing exception in a TransformerException.

Parameters
message String: The error or warning message, or null to use the message from the embedded exception.

locator SourceLocator: The locator object for the error or warning.

e Throwable: Any exception

Public methods

getCause

Added in API level 8
public Throwable getCause ()

Returns the cause of this throwable or null if the cause is nonexistent or unknown. (The cause is the throwable that caused this throwable to get thrown.)

Returns
Throwable the cause of this throwable or null if the cause is nonexistent or unknown.

getException

Added in API level 8
public Throwable getException ()

This method retrieves an exception that this exception wraps.

Returns
Throwable An Throwable object, or null.

getLocationAsString

Added in API level 8
public String getLocationAsString ()

Get the location information as a string.

Returns
String A string with location info, or null if there is no location information.

getLocator

Added in API level 8
public SourceLocator getLocator ()

Method getLocator retrieves an instance of a SourceLocator object that specifies where an error occurred.

Returns
SourceLocator A SourceLocator object, or null if none was specified.

getMessageAndLocation

Added in API level 8
public String getMessageAndLocation ()

Get the error message with location information appended.

Returns
String A String representing the error message with location information appended.

initCause

Added in API level 8
public Throwable initCause (Throwable cause)

Initializes the cause of this throwable to the specified value. (The cause is the throwable that caused this throwable to get thrown.)

This method can be called at most once. It is generally called from within the constructor, or immediately after creating the throwable. If this throwable was created with TransformerException(java.lang.Throwable) or TransformerException(java.lang.String, java.lang.Throwable), this method cannot be called even once.

Parameters
cause Throwable: the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the getCause() method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

Returns
Throwable a reference to this Throwable instance.

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if cause is this throwable. (A throwable cannot be its own cause.)
IllegalStateException if this throwable was created with TransformerException(java.lang.Throwable) or TransformerException(java.lang.String, java.lang.Throwable), or this method has already been called on this throwable.

printStackTrace

Added in API level 8
public void printStackTrace ()

Print the the trace of methods from where the error originated. This will trace all nested exception objects, as well as this object.

printStackTrace

Added in API level 8
public void printStackTrace (PrintWriter s)

Print the the trace of methods from where the error originated. This will trace all nested exception objects, as well as this object.

Parameters
s PrintWriter: The writer where the dump will be sent to.

printStackTrace

Added in API level 8
public void printStackTrace (PrintStream s)

Print the the trace of methods from where the error originated. This will trace all nested exception objects, as well as this object.

Parameters
s PrintStream: The stream where the dump will be sent to.
