Java In A Nutshell, 5th Edition

Signals a problem encoding or decoding characters or bytes. This is a generic superclass for more-specific exception types. Note that the one-argument versions of CharsetEncoder.encode( ) and CharsetDecoder.decode( ) may throw an exception of this type, but that the three-argument versions of the same method instead report encoding problems through their CoderResult return value. Note also that the encode( ) and decode( ) convenience methods of Charset do not throw this exception because they specify that malformed input and unmappable characters or bytes should be replaced . (See CodingErrorAction .)

public class CharacterCodingException extends java.io.IOException { // Public Constructors public CharacterCodingException ( ); }
