DOMException

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Throwable
- - java.lang.Exception
  - - java.lang.RuntimeException
    - - org.w3c.dom.DOMException

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

XDBDOMException, XMLDOMException
```
public class DOMException
extends java.lang.RuntimeException
```
DOM operations only raise exceptions in "exceptional" circumstances, i.e., when an operation is impossible to perform (either for logical reasons, because data is lost, or because the implementation has become unstable). In general, DOM methods return specific error values in ordinary processing situations, such as out-of-bound errors when using NodeList.
Implementations should raise other exceptions under other circumstances. For example, implementations should raise an implementation-dependent exception if a null argument is passed.

Some languages and object systems do not support the concept of exceptions. For such systems, error conditions may be indicated using native error reporting mechanisms. For some bindings, for example, methods may return error codes similar to those listed in the corresponding method descriptions.

Fields
Modifier and Type	Field and Description
`short`	`code`
`static short`	`DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR` If the specified range of text does not fit into a DOMString
`static short`	`HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR` If any node is inserted somewhere it doesn't belong
`static short`	`INDEX_SIZE_ERR` If index or size is negative, or greater than the allowed value
`static short`	`INUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERR` If an attempt is made to add an attribute that is already in use elsewhere
`static short`	`INVALID_ACCESS_ERR` If a parameter or an operation is not supported by the underlying object.
`static short`	`INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR` If an invalid or illegal character is specified, such as in a name.
`static short`	`INVALID_MODIFICATION_ERR` If an attempt is made to modify the type of the underlying object.
`static short`	`INVALID_STATE_ERR` If an attempt is made to use an object that is not, or is no longer, usable.
`static short`	`NAMESPACE_ERR` If an attempt is made to create or change an object in a way which is incorrect with regard to namespaces.
`static short`	`NO_DATA_ALLOWED_ERR` If data is specified for a node which does not support data
`static short`	`NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR` If an attempt is made to modify an object where modifications are not allowed
`static short`	`NOT_FOUND_ERR` If an attempt is made to reference a node in a context where it does not exist
`static short`	`NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR` If the implementation does not support the requested type of object or operation.
`static short`	`SYNTAX_ERR` If an invalid or illegal string is specified.
`static short`	`WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR` If a node is used in a different document than the one that created it (that doesn't support it)
