Name
DOMException
Synopsis
An instance of this class is thrown whenever
an exception is raised by the DOM API. Unlike many Java APIs, the DOM
API does not define specialized subclasses to define different
categories of exceptions. Instead, a more specific exception type is
specified by the public field code
. The value of
this field will be one of the constants defined by this class, which
have the following meanings:
-
INDEX_SIZE_ERR
Indicates an out-of-bounds error for an array or string index.
-
DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR
Indicates that a requested text is too big to fit into a
String
object. Exceptions of this type are intended for DOM implementations for other languages and should not occur in Java.-
HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR
Indicates that an attempt was made to place a node somewhere illegal in the document tree hierarchy.
-
WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR
Indicates an attempt to use a node with a document that is different than the document that created the node.
-
INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR
Indicates that an illegal character is used (in an element name, for example) .
-
NO_DATA_ALLOWED_ERR
Not currently used.
-
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR
Indicates that an attempt was made to modify a node that is read-only and does not allow modifications. Entity, EntityReference, and Notation nodes, and all of their descendants are read-only.
-
NOT_FOUND_ERR
Indicates that a node was not found where it was expected.
-
NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR
Indicates that a method or property is not supported in the current DOM implementation.
-
