java.rmi.activation
exception ActivationException

java.lang.Object extended by java.lang.Throwable extended by java.lang.Exception extended by java.rmi.activation.ActivationException
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public exception ActivationException
extends Exception

General exception used by the activation interfaces.

As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism. The "detail exception" that may be provided at construction time and accessed via the public {@link #detail} field is now known as the cause, and may be accessed via the {@link Throwable#getCause()} method, as well as the aforementioned "legacy field."

Invoking the method {@link Throwable#initCause(Throwable)} on an instance of ActivationException always throws {@link IllegalStateException}.


Field Summary
 Throwable detail
          The cause of the activation exception.
 
Constructor Summary

 String
