This class can contain basic error or warning information from either the XML parser or the application: a parser writer or application writer can subclass it to provide additional functionality. SAX handlers may throw this exception or any exception subclassed from it.

If the application needs to pass through other types of exceptions, it must wrap those exceptions in a SAXException or an exception derived from a SAXException.

If the parser or application needs to include information about a specific location in an XML document, it should use the `SAXParseException` subclass.

Constructor Detail

### SAXException

    public SAXException()

  Create a new SAXException.

### SAXException

    public SAXException(java.lang.String message)

  Create a new SAXException.

  Parameters:
    `message` - The error or warning message.

### SAXException

    public SAXException(java.lang.Exception e)

  Create a new SAXException wrapping an existing exception.

  The existing exception will be embedded in the new one, and its message will become the default message for the SAXException.

  Parameters:

### SAXException

    public SAXException(java.lang.String message,
                        java.lang.Exception e)

  Create a new SAXException from an existing exception.

  The existing exception will be embedded in the new one, but the new exception will have its own message.

  Parameters:
    `message` - The detail message.
    `e` - The exception to be wrapped in a SAXException.

Method Detail

### getMessage

    public java.lang.String getMessage()

  Return a detail message for this exception.

  If there is an embedded exception, and if the SAXException has no detail message of its own, this method will return the detail message from the embedded exception.

  Overrides:
    `getMessage` in class `java.lang.Throwable`
  Returns:
    The error or warning message.

### getException

    public java.lang.Exception getException()

  Return the embedded exception, if any.

  Returns:
    The embedded exception, or null if there is none.

### toString
