public class: NullPointerException [javadoc |
source]
java.lang.Object
java.lang.Throwable
java.lang.Exception
java.lang.RuntimeException
java.lang.NullPointerException
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
Thrown when an application attempts to use {@code null} in a
case where an object is required. These include:
- Calling the instance method of a {@code null} object.
- Accessing or modifying the field of a {@code null} object.
- Taking the length of {@code null} as if it were an array.
- Accessing or modifying the slots of {@code null} as if it
were an array.
- Throwing {@code null} as if it were a {@code Throwable}
value.
Applications should throw instances of this class to indicate
other illegal uses of the {@code null} object.
{@code NullPointerException} objects may be constructed by the
virtual machine as if {@linkplain Throwable#Throwable(String,
Throwable, boolean, boolean) suppression were disabled and/or the
stack trace was not writable}.
