 package java.lang.reflect;

InvocationTargetException is a checked exception that wraps an exception thrown by an invoked method or constructor.

As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism. The "target exception" that is provided at construction time and accessed via the getTargetException() method is now known as the cause, and may be accessed via the java.lang.Throwable.getCause() method, as well as the aforementioned "legacy method."

 
 public class InvocationTargetException extends ReflectiveOperationException {
    
Use serialVersionUID from JDK 1.1.X for interoperability
 
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 4085088731926701167L;

     
This field holds the target if the InvocationTargetException(Throwable target) constructor was used to instantiate the object

Serial:
 
     private Throwable target;

    
Constructs an InvocationTargetException with null as the target exception.
 
     protected InvocationTargetException() {
         super((Throwable)null);  // Disallow initCause
     }

    
Constructs a InvocationTargetException with a target exception.

Parameters:
target the target exception
 
     public InvocationTargetException(Throwable target) {
         super((Throwable)null);  // Disallow initCause
         this. = target;
     }

    
Constructs a InvocationTargetException with a target exception and a detail message.

Parameters:
target the target exception
s the detail message
 
     public InvocationTargetException(Throwable targetString s) {
         super(snull);  // Disallow initCause
         this. = target;
     }

    
Get the thrown target exception.

This method predates the general-purpose exception chaining facility. The java.lang.Throwable.getCause() method is now the preferred means of obtaining this information.

Returns:
the thrown target exception (cause of this exception).
 
     public Throwable getTargetException() {
         return ;
     }

    
Returns the cause of this exception (the thrown target exception, which may be null).

Returns:
the cause of this exception.
Since:
1.4
    public Throwable getCause() {
        return ;
    }
