Class Overview

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

Summary

Public Constructors
	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`).

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object.
boolean	equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
void	finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
final Class<?>	getClass() Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
int	hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object.
final void	notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
final void	notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
String	toString() Returns a string representation of the object.
final void	wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object.
final void	wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
final void	wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.

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 `getMessage()` method).
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.)

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 `getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
