Interface ExtException

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    ExtCertificateEncodingException, ExtCertPathBuilderException, ExtCertPathValidatorException, ExtIOException
    @Deprecated
public interface ExtException
    Deprecated.
    obsolete pre-1.4 cause-chaining shim; use the org.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.util.SecurityExceptions factories (certPathValidatorException / certPathBuilderException / certificateEncodingException) or the standard java.security.cert exceptions directly.
    This is an extended exception. Java before version 1.4 did not offer the possibility the attach a cause to an exception. The cause of an exception is the Throwable object which was thrown and caused the exception. This interface must be implemented by all exceptions to accomplish this additional functionality.
