Class DOMException

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Throwable

java.lang.Exception

java.lang.RuntimeException

org.w3c.dom.DOMException

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class DOMException
extends RuntimeException

DOM operations only raise exceptions in "exceptional" circumstances, i.e., when an operation is impossible to perform (either for logical reasons, because data is lost, or because the implementation has become unstable). In general, DOM methods return specific error values in ordinary processing situations, such as out-of-bound errors when using NodeList.

Implementations should raise other exceptions under other circumstances. For example, implementations should raise an implementation-dependent exception if a null argument is passed when null was not expected.

Some languages and object systems do not support the concept of exceptions. For such systems, error conditions may be indicated using native error reporting mechanisms. For some bindings, for example, methods may return error codes similar to those listed in the corresponding method descriptions.

Throwable	initCause(Throwable cause)	Initializes the cause of this throwable to the specified value.
void	printStackTrace()	Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the standard error stream.
void	printStackTrace(PrintStream s)	Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print stream.
void	printStackTrace(PrintWriter s)	Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print writer.
void	setStackTrace(StackTraceElement[] stackTrace)	Sets the stack trace elements that will be returned by Throwable.getStackTrace() and printed by Throwable.printStackTrace() and related methods.
