public static class RemoteException extends Object
RemoteException
is the common superclass for a number of
communication-related exceptions that may occur during the execution of a
remote method call. Each method of a remote interface, an interface that
extends java.rmi.Remote
, must list
RemoteException
in its throws clause.
As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to
the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism. The "wrapped remote
exception" that may be provided at construction time and accessed via
the public #detail
field is now known as the cause, and
may be accessed via the Throwable#getCause()
method, as well as
the aforementioned "legacy field."
Invoking the method Throwable#initCause(Throwable)
on an
instance of RemoteException
always throws IllegalStateException
.
