25.20 java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError (JDK 1.1)

This error is thrown by the Java Virtual Machine when an exception occurs in the static initializer of a class. You can use the getException() method to obtain the Throwable object that was thrown from the initializer.


public class ExceptionInInitializerError extends LinkageError {

    // Public Constructors

            public ExceptionInInitializerError();

            public ExceptionInInitializerError(Throwable thrown);

            public ExceptionInInitializerError(String s);

    // Public Instance Methods

            public Throwable getException();

}

Hierarchy:

Object->Throwable(Serializable)->Error->LinkageError->ExceptionInInitializerError
