public class ExceptionInInitializerError extends LinkageError
ExceptionInInitializerError is thrown to indicate that an
exception occurred during evaluation of a static initializer or the
initializer for a static variable.
As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to
the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism. The "saved throwable
object" that may be provided at construction time and accessed via
the getException() method is now known as the cause,
and may be accessed via the Throwable.getCause() method, as well
as the aforementioned "legacy method."

ExceptionInInitializerError(String s)

ExceptionInInitializerError(Throwable thrown)
Constructs a new
ExceptionInInitializerError class by
saving a reference to the Throwable object thrown for
later retrieval by the getException() method. |
