Constructor:

Constructor:
public IllegalArgumentException() { super(); } Constructs an `IllegalArgumentException` with no detail message.
public IllegalArgumentException(String s) { super(s); } Constructs an `IllegalArgumentException` with the specified detail message. Parameters: `s` - the detail message.
public IllegalArgumentException(Throwable cause) { super(cause); } Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of `cause`). This constructor is useful for exceptions that are little more than wrappers for other throwables (for example, java.security.PrivilegedActionException ). Parameters: `cause` - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable#getCause() method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.) since: `1.5` -
public IllegalArgumentException(String message, Throwable cause) { super(message, cause); } Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause. Note that the detail message associated with `cause` is not automatically incorporated in this exception's detail message. Parameters: `message` - the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable#getMessage() method). `cause` - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable#getCause() method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.) since: `1.5` -

}

(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())

cause

java.security.PrivilegedActionException

Parameters:
