IncompatibleTypeException

public IncompatibleTypeException(Object value,
 Class<?>... validTypes)

Constructs an IncompatibleTypeException with a reference to the object being checked and an array of valid Class objects which the type failed to match.

A message describing the nature of the incompatible types will automatically be generated and can be retrieved through Throwable.getMessage()

Parameters:

value - the object which was being evaluated against a set of valid types

validTypes - the valid types against which the value was being evaluated but failed to be compatible with

IncompatibleTypeException

public IncompatibleTypeException(Exception ex,
 Object value,
 Class<?>... validTypes)

IncompatibleTypeException

public IncompatibleTypeException(String additionalMessage,
 Object value,
 Class<?>... validTypes)

Constructs an IncompatibleTypeException with a message, a reference to the object being checked, and an array of valid Class objects which the type failed to match.

The additional message will be prepended to the front of an automatically generated message describing the nature of the incompatible types and can be retrieved through Throwable.getMessage().

Parameters:

additionalMessage - the additional message to prepend to the generated exception detail message

value - the object which was being evaluated against a set of valid types

validTypes - the valid types against which the value was being evaluated but failed to be compatible with
