Class ExceptionTable

java.lang.Object

org.apache.bcel.classfile.Attribute

org.apache.bcel.classfile.ExceptionTable

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Node

public final class ExceptionTable
extends Attribute

This class represents the table of exceptions that are thrown by a method. This attribute may be used once per method. The name of this class is ExceptionTable for historical reasons; The Java Virtual Machine Specification, Second Edition defines this attribute using the name Exceptions (which is inconsistent with the other classes).

Exceptions_attribute {
  u2 attribute_name_index;
  u4 attribute_length;
  u2 number_of_exceptions;
  u2 exception_index_table[number_of_exceptions];
}

Constructor Details

ExceptionTable

public ExceptionTable(ExceptionTable c)

Initialize from another object. Note that both objects use the same references (shallow copy). Use copy() for a physical copy.

Parameters:

c - Source to copy.

ExceptionTable

public ExceptionTable(int nameIndex,
 int length,
 int[] exceptionIndexTable,
 ConstantPool constantPool)

Constructs an ExceptionTable.

Parameters:

nameIndex - Index in constant pool.

length - Content length in bytes.

exceptionIndexTable - Table of indices in constant pool.

constantPool - Array of constants.

Method Details

accept

public void accept(Visitor v)

Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitly defined by the contents of a Java class. That is, the hierarchy of methods, fields, attributes, and so on spawns a tree of objects.

Specified by:

accept in interface Node

Specified by:

accept in class Attribute

Parameters:

v - Visitor object.

copy

public Attribute copy(ConstantPool constantPool)

Creates a deep copy of this attribute.

Specified by:

copy in class Attribute

Parameters:

constantPool - constant pool to save.

Returns:

deep copy of this attribute.

dump

public void dump(DataOutputStream file)
          throws IOException

Dumps exceptions attribute to file stream in binary format.

Overrides:

dump in class Attribute

Parameters:

file - Output file stream.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

getExceptionIndexTable

public int[] getExceptionIndexTable()

Gets the array of indices into constant pool of thrown exceptions.

Returns:

Array of indices into constant pool of thrown exceptions.

getExceptionNames

public String[] getExceptionNames()

Gets the class names of thrown exceptions.

Returns:

class names of thrown exceptions.

getNumberOfExceptions

public int getNumberOfExceptions()

Gets the length of exception table.

Returns:

Length of exception table.

setExceptionIndexTable

public void setExceptionIndexTable(int[] exceptionIndexTable)

Sets the exception index table.

Parameters:

exceptionIndexTable - the list of exception indexes Also redefines number_of_exceptions according to table length.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Attribute

Returns:

String representation, that is, a list of thrown exceptions.
