InvocationTargetException
open class InvocationTargetException : ReflectiveOperationException
InvocationTargetException is a checked exception that wraps an exception thrown by an invoked method or constructor.
As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism. The "target exception" that is provided at construction time and accessed via the getTargetException() method is now known as the cause, and may be accessed via the Throwable.getCause() method, as well as the aforementioned "legacy method."
Summary
| Public constructors |
|
Constructs a InvocationTargetException with a target exception.
|
|

|
| Protected constructors |
|
Constructs an InvocationTargetException with null as the target exception.
|
| Public methods |
| open Throwable! |
Get the thrown target exception.
|
| Properties |
| open Throwable? |
Returns the cause of this exception (the thrown target exception, which may be null).

Public constructors
InvocationTargetException
InvocationTargetException(target: Throwable!)
Constructs a InvocationTargetException with a target exception.
| Parameters |
target |
Throwable!: the target exception |
InvocationTargetException
InvocationTargetException(
target: Throwable!,
s: String!)
Constructs a InvocationTargetException with a target exception and a detail message.
| Parameters |
target |
Throwable!: the target exception |
s |
String!: the detail message |
Protected constructors
InvocationTargetException
protected InvocationTargetException()
Constructs an InvocationTargetException with null as the target exception.
Public methods
getTargetException
open fun getTargetException(): Throwable!
Get the thrown target exception.
This method predates the general-purpose exception chaining facility. The Throwable.getCause() method is now the preferred means of obtaining this information.
| Return |
Throwable! |
the thrown target exception (cause of this exception). |
Properties
cause
open val cause: Throwable?
Returns the cause of this exception (the thrown target exception, which may be null).
| Return |
Throwable? |
the cause of this exception. |
