Constructor Detail

CertStoreException

public CertStoreException()
Creates a CertStoreException with null as its detail message.


CertStoreException

public CertStoreException(String msg)
Creates a CertStoreException with the given detail message. A detail message is a String that describes this particular exception.

Parameters:
msg - the detail message

CertStoreException

public CertStoreException(Throwable cause)
Creates a CertStoreException that wraps the specified throwable. This allows any exception to be converted into a CertStoreException, while retaining information about the cause, which may be useful for debugging. The detail message is set to (cause==null ? null : cause.toString()) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause).

Parameters:
cause - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the getCause() method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

CertStoreException

public CertStoreException(String msg,
                          Throwable cause)
Creates a CertStoreException with the specified detail message and cause.

Parameters:
msg - the detail message
cause - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the getCause() method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

toString

public String toString()
Returns a string describing this exception, including a description of the internal (wrapped) cause if there is one.

Prints a stack trace to System.err, including the backtrace of the cause, if any.

Overrides:
printStackTrace in class Throwable

printStackTrace

public void printStackTrace(PrintStream ps)
Prints a stack trace to a PrintStream, including the backtrace of the cause, if any.

Overrides:
