The GeneralSecurityException class is a generic security exception class that provides type safety for all the security-related exception classes that extend from it.

Public Constructor Summary

	GeneralSecurityException() Constructs a GeneralSecurityException with no detail message.
	GeneralSecurityException(String msg) Constructs a GeneralSecurityException with the specified detail message.
	GeneralSecurityException(String message, Throwable cause) Creates a `GeneralSecurityException` with the specified detail message and cause.
	GeneralSecurityException(Throwable cause) Creates a `GeneralSecurityException` with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of `cause`).

Inherited Method Summary

From class java.lang.Throwable

synchronized final void	addSuppressed(Throwable exception) Appends the specified exception to the exceptions that were suppressed in order to deliver this exception.
synchronized Throwable	fillInStackTrace() Fills in the execution stack trace.
synchronized Throwable	getCause() Returns the cause of this throwable or `null` if the cause is nonexistent or unknown.
String	getLocalizedMessage() Creates a localized description of this throwable.
String	getMessage() Returns the detail message string of this throwable.
StackTraceElement[]	getStackTrace() Provides programmatic access to the stack trace information printed by `printStackTrace()`.
synchronized final Throwable[]	getSuppressed() Returns an array containing all of the exceptions that were suppressed, typically by the `try`-with-resources statement, in order to deliver this exception.
synchronized Throwable	initCause(Throwable cause) Initializes the cause of this throwable to the specified value.
void	printStackTrace() Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the standard error stream.
void	printStackTrace(PrintWriter s) Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print writer.
void	printStackTrace(PrintStream s) Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print stream.
void	setStackTrace(StackTraceElement[] stackTrace) Sets the stack trace elements that will be returned by `getStackTrace()` and printed by `printStackTrace()` and related methods.
String	toString() Returns a short description of this throwable.

From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this `Object`.
boolean	equals(Object obj) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal.
void	finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable.
final Class<?>	getClass() Returns the unique instance of `Class` that represents this object's class.
int	hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final void	notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait(long timeout) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object.

Public Constructors

public GeneralSecurityException ()

Constructs a GeneralSecurityException with no detail message.

public GeneralSecurityException (String msg)

Constructs a GeneralSecurityException with the specified detail message. A detail message is a String that describes this particular exception.

Parameters

msg	the detail message.

public GeneralSecurityException (String message, Throwable cause)

Creates a GeneralSecurityException with the specified detail message and cause.

Parameters

message	the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getMessage()` method).
cause	the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

public GeneralSecurityException (Throwable cause)

Creates a GeneralSecurityException with the specified cause and a detail message of (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 `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
