DefinitionException

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Throwable
- - java.lang.Exception
  - - java.lang.RuntimeException
    - - jakarta.enterprise.inject.spi.DefinitionException

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public class DefinitionException
extends java.lang.RuntimeException
```
Thrown when a definition error occurs.

Definition errors are developer errors. They may be detected by tooling at development time, and are also detected by the container at initialization time. If a definition error exists in a deployment, initialization will be aborted by the container.

The container is permitted to define a non-portable mode, for use at development time, in which some definition errors do not cause application initialization to abort.

An implementation is permitted to throw a subclass of DefinitionException for any definition error which exists.

Since:

1.1
