XPathException

public class XPathException extends TransformerException
This class implements an exception object that all XPath classes will throw in case of an error. This class extends TransformerException, and may hold other exceptions. In the case of nested exceptions, printStackTrace will dump all the traces of the nested exceptions, not just the trace of this object.
xsl.usage

Methods Summary
public java.lang.ThrowablegetException()
Return the embedded exception, if any. Overrides javax.xml.transform.TransformerException.getException().

return
The embedded exception, or null if there is none.

    return m_exception;
protected com.sun.org.apache.xpath.internal.ExpressionNodegetExpressionOwner(com.sun.org.apache.xpath.internal.ExpressionNode ex)
Get the first non-Expression parent of this node.

return
null or first ancestor that is not an Expression.

  	ExpressionNode parent = ex.exprGetParent();
  	while((null != parent) && (parent instanceof Expression))
  		parent = parent.exprGetParent();
  	return parent;
public java.lang.StringgetMessage()
Find the most contained message.

return
The error message of the originating exception.


    String lastMessage = super.getMessage();
    Throwable exception = m_exception;

    while (null != exception)
    {
      String nextMessage = exception.getMessage();

      if (null != nextMessage)
        lastMessage = nextMessage;

      if (exception instanceof TransformerException)
      {
        TransformerException se = (TransformerException) exception;
        Throwable prev = exception;

        exception = se.getException();

      }
    }

    return (null != lastMessage) ? lastMessage : "";
public java.lang.ObjectgetStylesheetNode()
Get the stylesheet node from where this error originated.

return
The stylesheet node from where this error originated, or null.


                         
    
  
    return m_styleNode;
public org.w3c.dom.NodegetStylesheetNode(com.sun.org.apache.xpath.internal.ExpressionNode ex)
Get the XSLT ElemVariable that this sub-expression references. In order for this to work, the SourceLocator must be the owning ElemTemplateElement.

return
The dereference to the ElemVariable, or null if not found.

  	
    ExpressionNode owner = getExpressionOwner(ex);
