Field Detail

detail

public Throwable detail

The cause of this exception. This pre-dates the exception chaining of Throwable; and although you can change this field, you are wiser to leave it alone.

Serial: the exception cause

Constructor Detail

RemoteException

public RemoteException()

Create an exception with no message, and cause initialized to null.

Parameters: s the message

RemoteException

public RemoteException(String s, Throwable e)

Create an exception with the given message and cause.

Parameters: s the message e the cause

Returns the cause of this exception. Note that this may not be the original cause, thanks to the detail field being public and non-final (yuck). However, to avoid violating the contract of Throwable.getCause(), this returns null if detail == this, as no exception can be its own cause.

Returns: the cause

super.getMessage() + (detail == null ? ""
    : "; nested exception is:\n\t" + detail)
