Name

java.lang.Throwable

Synopsis

This class is a scaled-down version of the J2SE Throwable class. It is the superclass of all errors and exceptions in the Java language, and only objects that extend this class can be thrown or caught in the Java virtual machine. The getMessage() method returns any error messages that are set in the constructor. printStackTrace() creates a stack trace that shows precisely where a specific error occurred in an application.

public classThrowable {
   // constructors
   public Throwable();
   public Throwable(String message);

   // public instance methods
   public String getMessage();
   public void printStackTrace();
   public String toString();
}
