PrivilegedActionException

public class PrivilegedActionException
extends Exception

java.lang.Object
↳	java.lang.Throwable
	↳	java.lang.Exception
		↳	java.security.PrivilegedActionException

Legacy security code; do not use. This exception is thrown by doPrivileged(PrivilegedExceptionAction) and doPrivileged(PrivilegedExceptionAction, AccessControlContext context) to indicate that the action being performed threw a checked exception. The exception thrown by the action can be obtained by calling the getException method. In effect, an PrivilegedActionException is a "wrapper" for an exception thrown by a privileged action.

As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism. The "exception thrown by the privileged computation" that is 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."

Public constructors

PrivilegedActionException

Added in API level 1

public PrivilegedActionException (Exception exception)

Constructs a new PrivilegedActionException "wrapping" the specific Exception.

Parameters
`exception`	`Exception`: The exception thrown

Public methods

getCause

Added in API level 1

public Throwable getCause ()

Returns the cause of this exception (the exception thrown by the privileged computation that resulted in this PrivilegedActionException).

Returns
`Throwable`	the cause of this exception.

getException

Added in API level 1

public Exception getException ()

Returns the exception thrown by the privileged computation that resulted in this PrivilegedActionException.

This method predates the general-purpose exception chaining facility. The Throwable.getCause() method is now the preferred means of obtaining this information.

Returns
`Exception`	the exception thrown by the privileged computation that resulted in this `PrivilegedActionException`.

toString

Added in API level 1

public String toString ()

Returns a short description of this throwable. The result is the concatenation of:

the name of the class of this object
": " (a colon and a space)
the result of invoking this object's getLocalizedMessage() method

If getLocalizedMessage returns null, then just the class name is returned.

Returns
`String`	a string representation of this throwable.
