Java : SAXException (XML) with Examples
SAXException (Java SE 23 & JDK 23) in Java with Examples.
You will find code samples for most of the SAXException methods.
Summary
Encapsulate a general SAX error or warning.
final var xml = """
<root><<<root>
""";
final var factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
final var builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
try {
var _ = builder.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes()));
} catch (SAXException e) {
System.out.println("SAXException! : " + e.getMessage());
}
// Result
// ↓
//SAXException! : The content of elements must consist of
// well-formed character data or markup.
Constructors
SAXException ()
Create a new SAXException.
final var e = new SAXException();
System.out.println(e); // org.xml.sax.SAXException
SAXException (Exception e)
Create a new SAXException wrapping an existing exception.
final var cause = new SAXException("XYZ");
final var e = new SAXException(cause);
System.out.println(e); // org.xml.sax.SAXException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: XYZ
System.out.println(e.getException()); // org.xml.sax.SAXException: XYZ
System.out.println(e.getException().getMessage()); // XYZ
System.out.println(e.getCause()); // org.xml.sax.SAXException: XYZ
System.out.println(e.getCause().getMessage()); // XYZ
SAXException (String message)
Create a new SAXException.
final var e = new SAXException("abc");
System.out.println(e); // org.xml.sax.SAXException: abc
System.out.println(e.getMessage()); // abc
SAXException (String message, Exception e)
Create a new SAXException from an existing exception.
final var cause = new SAXException("XYZ");
final var e = new SAXException("abc", cause);
System.out.println(e.getMessage()); // abc
System.out.println(e.getException()); // org.xml.sax.SAXException: XYZ
System.out.println(e.getException().getMessage()); // XYZ
Methods
Throwable getCause ()
Return the cause of the exception
final var cause = new SAXException("XYZ");
final var e = new SAXException(cause);
System.out.println(e); // org.xml.sax.SAXException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: XYZ
System.out.println(e.getException()); // org.xml.sax.SAXException: XYZ
System.out.println(e.getException().getMessage()); // XYZ
System.out.println(e.getCause()); // org.xml.sax.SAXException: XYZ
System.out.println(e.getCause().getMessage()); // XYZ
Exception getException ()
Return the embedded exception, if any.
final var cause = new SAXException("XYZ");
final var e = new SAXException(cause);
System.out.println(e); // org.xml.sax.SAXException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: XYZ
System.out.println(e.getException()); // org.xml.sax.SAXException: XYZ
System.out.println(e.getException().getMessage()); // XYZ
System.out.println(e.getCause()); // org.xml.sax.SAXException: XYZ
System.out.println(e.getCause().getMessage()); // XYZ
String getMessage ()
Return a detail message for this exception.
final var e = new SAXException("abc");
System.out.println(e); // org.xml.sax.SAXException: abc
System.out.println(e.getMessage()); // abc
String toString ()
Override toString to pick up any embedded exception.
final var cause = new SAXException("XYZ");
final var e = new SAXException("abc", cause);
final var str = e.toString();
System.out.println(str);
// Result
// ↓
//org.xml.sax.SAXException: abc
//org.xml.sax.SAXException: XYZ
