Class JacksonException

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Throwable

java.lang.Exception

java.io.IOException

com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JacksonException

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

JsonProcessingException

public abstract class JacksonException
extends java.io.IOException

Base class for all Jackson-produced checked exceptions.

For Jackson 2.x this base type is not widely used (instead, its main subtype JsonProcessingException is): it is provided more for forwards-compatibility purposes as 3.x will base all other types directly on it and deprecate JsonProcessingException (as well as chance its type to unchecked).

Since:

2.12

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
abstract JsonLocation	getLocation() Accessor for location information related to position within input or output (depending on operation), if available; if not available may return null.
abstract java.lang.String	getOriginalMessage() Method that allows accessing the original "message" argument, without additional decorations (like location information) that overridden Throwable.getMessage() adds.
abstract java.lang.Object	getProcessor() Method that allows accessing underlying processor that triggered this exception; typically either JsonParser or JsonGenerator for exceptions that originate from streaming API, but may be other types when thrown by databinding.

Method Detail

getLocation

public abstract JsonLocation getLocation()

Accessor for location information related to position within input or output (depending on operation), if available; if not available may return null.

Accuracy of location information depends on backend (format) as well as (in some cases) operation being performed.

Returns:

Location in input or output that triggered the problem reported, if available; null otherwise.

getOriginalMessage

public abstract java.lang.String getOriginalMessage()

Method that allows accessing the original "message" argument, without additional decorations (like location information) that overridden Throwable.getMessage() adds.

Returns:

Original, unmodified message argument used to construct this exception instance

getProcessor

public abstract java.lang.Object getProcessor()

Method that allows accessing underlying processor that triggered this exception; typically either JsonParser or JsonGenerator for exceptions that originate from streaming API, but may be other types when thrown by databinding.

Note that it is possible that null may be returned if code throwing exception either has no access to the processor; or has not been retrofitted to set it; this means that caller needs to take care to check for nulls. Subtypes override this method with co-variant return type, for more type-safe access.

Returns:

Originating processor, if available; null if not.
