Direct Known Subclasses:
  ValidityException

public class ParsingException
extends Exception

The generic superclass for all the checked exceptions thrown in XOM. The general principle followed is that anything that could plausibly be detected by testing such as using spaces in an element name is a runtime exception. Exceptions that depend on environmental conditions, such as might occur when parsing an external file, are checked exceptions, because these depend on variable input, and thus problems may not all be detected during testing.

                            Throwable cause)

  Creates a new `ParsingException` with a detail message, line and column numbers, and an underlying exception.

Parameters:
  `message` - a string indicating the specific problem
  `lineNumber` - the approximate line number where the problem occurs
  `columnNumber` - the approximate column number where the problem occurs
  `cause` - the original cause of this exception

### ParsingException

    public ParsingException(String message)

  Creates a new `ParsingException` with a detail message.

Parameters:
  `message` - a string indicating the specific problem

Method Detail

### getLineNumber

    public int getLineNumber()

  Returns the approximate row number of the construct that caused this exception. If the row number is not known, -1 is returned.

  Returns:
    row number where the exception occurred

### getColumnNumber

    public int getColumnNumber()

  Returns the approximate column number of the construct that caused this exception. If the column number is not known, -1 is returned.

  Returns:
    column number where the exception occurred

### getURI

    public String getURI()

  Returns the system ID (generally a URL) of the document that caused this exception. If this is not known, for instance because the document was parsed from a raw input stream or from a string, it returns null.

  Returns:
    the URI of the document that caused this exception

### initCause

    public Throwable initCause(Throwable cause)

  Sets the root cause of this exception. This may only be called once. Subsequent calls throw an `IllegalStateException`.

  This method is unnecessary in Java 1.4 where it could easily be inherited from the superclass. However, including it here allows this method to be used in Java 1.3 and earlier.

  Parameters:
    `cause` - the root cause of this exception
  Returns:
    this `XMLException`
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the cause is this exception (An exception cannot be its own cause.)
    `IllegalStateException` - if this method is called twice

### getCause

    public Throwable getCause()

  Returns the underlying exception that caused this exception.

  Returns:
    the root exception that caused this exception to be thrown

### toString

    public String toString()

  Returns a string suitable for display to the developer summarizing what went wrong where.

  Returns:
    an exception message suitable for display to a developer
