Extends: Throwable > Exception

This exception is thrown whenever a GSS-API error occurs, including any mechanism specific error. It may contain both the major and the minor GSS-API status codes. Major error codes are those defined at the GSS-API level in this class. Minor error codes are mechanism specific error codes that can provide additional information. The underlying mechanism implementation is responsible for setting appropriate minor status codes when throwing this exception. Aside from delivering the numeric error codes to the caller, this class performs the mapping from their numeric values to textual representations.

Fields
final public static int BAD_BINDINGS
Channel bindings mismatch.
final public static int BAD_MECH
Unsupported mechanism requested.
final public static int BAD_NAME
Invalid name provided.
final public static int BAD_NAMETYPE
Name of unsupported type provided.
final public static int BAD_STATUS
Invalid status code.
final public static int BAD_MIC
Token had invalid integrity check.
final public static int CONTEXT_EXPIRED
Security context expired.
final public static int CREDENTIALS_EXPIRED
Expired credentials.
final public static int DEFECTIVE_CREDENTIAL
Defective credentials.
final public static int DEFECTIVE_TOKEN
Defective token.
final public static int FAILURE
General failure, unspecified at GSS-API level.
final public static int NO_CONTEXT
Invalid security context.
final public static int NO_CRED
Invalid credentials.
final public static int BAD_QOP
Unsupported QOP value.
final public static int UNAUTHORIZED
Operation unauthorized.
final public static int UNAVAILABLE
Operation unavailable.
final public static int DUPLICATE_ELEMENT
Duplicate credential element requested.
final public static int NAME_NOT_MN
Name contains multi-mechanism elements.
final public static int DUPLICATE_TOKEN
The token was a duplicate of an earlier token. This is a fatal error code that may occur during context establishment. It is not used to indicate supplementary status values. The MessageProp object is used for that purpose.
final public static int OLD_TOKEN
The token's validity period has expired. This is a fatal error code that may occur during context establishment. It is not used to indicate supplementary status values. The MessageProp object is used for that purpose.
final public static int UNSEQ_TOKEN
A later token has already been processed. This is a fatal error code that may occur during context establishment. It is not used to indicate supplementary status values. The MessageProp object is used for that purpose.
final public static int GAP_TOKEN
An expected per-message token was not received. This is a fatal error code that may occur during context establishment. It is not used to indicate supplementary status values. The MessageProp object is used for that purpose.

Constructors
public GSSException(int majorCode)
Creates a GSSException object with a specified major code.
majorCodethe The GSS error code for the problem causing this exception to be thrown.
public GSSException(int majorCode, int minorCode, String minorString)
Creates a GSSException object with the specified major code, minor code, and minor code textual explanation. This constructor is to be used when the exception is originating from the underlying mechanism level. It allows the setting of both the GSS code and the mechanism code.
majorCodethe GSS error code for the problem causing this exception to be thrown.
minorCodethe mechanism level error code for the problem causing this exception to be thrown.
minorStringthe textual explanation of the mechanism error code.

Methods
public String toString()
Returns a textual representation of both the major and the minor status codes.
returna String with the error descriptions

Properties
public int getMajor()
Returns the GSS-API level major error code for the problem causing this exception to be thrown. Major error codes are defined at the mechanism independent GSS-API level in this class. Mechanism specific error codes that might provide more information aer set as the minor error code.
returnint the GSS-API level major error code causing this exception
See also getMajorString, getMinor, getMinorString
public String getMajorString()
Returns a string explaining the GSS-API level major error code in this exception.
returnString explanation string for the major error code
See also getMajor, toString
public String getMessage()
Returns a textual representation of both the major and the minor status codes.
returna String with the error descriptions
public void setMinor(int minorCode, String message)
Used by the exception thrower to set the mechanism level minor error code and its string explanation. This is used by mechanism providers to indicate error details.
minorCodethe mechanism specific error code
messagetextual explanation of the mechanism error code
See also getMinor
public int getMinor()
Returns the mechanism level error code for the problem causing this exception to be thrown. The minor code is set by the underlying mechanism.
returnint the mechanism error code; 0 indicates that it has not been set.
See also getMinorString, setMinor
public String getMinorString()
Returns a string explaining the mechanism specific error code. If the minor status code is 0, then no mechanism level error details will be available.
returnString a textual explanation of mechanism error code
