The class Exception and its subclasses are a form of Throwable that indicates conditions that a reasonable application might want to catch.

The class Exception and any subclasses that are not also subclasses of RuntimeException are checked exceptions. Checked exceptions need to be declared in a method or constructor's throws clause if they can be thrown by the execution of the method or constructor and propagate outside the method or constructor boundary.

public Exception(String message, Throwable cause) 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. Parameters message:String the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the `getMessage()` method). 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.) Since 1.4

public Exception(String message, Throwable cause)

Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause.

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.)

Exception	back to summary
public Exception(Throwable 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`). This constructor is useful for exceptions that are little more than wrappers for other throwables (for example, `java.security.PrivilegedActionException`). 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.) Since 1.4

public Exception(Throwable 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). This constructor is useful for exceptions that are little more than wrappers for other throwables (for example, java.security.PrivilegedActionException).

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.)

protected Exception(String message, Throwable cause, boolean enableSuppression, boolean writableStackTrace) Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message, cause, suppression enabled or disabled, and writable stack trace enabled or disabled. Parameters message:String the detail message. cause:Throwable the cause. (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.) enableSuppression:boolean whether or not suppression is enabled or disabled writableStackTrace:boolean whether or not the stack trace should be writable Since 1.7

protected Exception(String message, Throwable cause, boolean enableSuppression, boolean writableStackTrace)

Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message, cause, suppression enabled or disabled, and writable stack trace enabled or disabled.

Parameters

message:String: the detail message.
