InvalidPropertiesFormatException

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• InvalidPropertiesFormatException signals that input doesn't adhere to the expected XML structure for Java Properties.

• This exception is thrown during operations involving the java.util.Properties class when data is improperly formatted.

• While inheriting from IOException, InvalidPropertiesFormatException is not intended to be serialized and will throw NotSerializableException if serialization is attempted.

• It provides constructors to specify a detailed message or a cause for the exception.

public class InvalidPropertiesFormatException extends IOException

Thrown to indicate that an operation could not complete because the input did not conform to the appropriate XML document type for a collection of properties, as per the Properties specification.

Note, that although InvalidPropertiesFormatException inherits Serializable interface from Exception, it is not intended to be Serializable. Appropriate serialization methods are implemented to throw NotSerializableException.
