Exception: java.security.PrivilegedActionException
- public exception PrivilegedActionException
- extends Exception
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 java.security.PrivilegedActionException.getException() method is now known as the cause, and may be accessed via the Throwable.getCause() method, as well as the aforementioned "legacy method."
