## Class UndeclaredThrowableException

      public class UndeclaredThrowableException
      extends RuntimeException

  Thrown by a method invocation on a proxy instance if its invocation handler's `invoke` method throws a checked exception (a `Throwable` that is not assignable to `RuntimeException` or `Error`) that is not assignable to any of the exception types declared in the `throws` clause of the method that was invoked on the proxy instance and dispatched to the invocation handler.

  An `UndeclaredThrowableException` instance contains the undeclared checked exception that was thrown by the invocation handler, and it can be retrieved with the `getUndeclaredThrowable()` method. `UndeclaredThrowableException` extends `RuntimeException`, so it is an unchecked exception that wraps a checked exception.

  As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism. The "undeclared checked exception that was thrown by the invocation handler" that may be provided at construction time and accessed via the `getUndeclaredThrowable()` method is now known as the cause, and may be accessed via the `Throwable.getCause()` method, as well as the aforementioned "legacy method."

    1.3

    - #### UndeclaredThrowableException

          public UndeclaredThrowableException(Throwable undeclaredThrowable)

      Constructs an `UndeclaredThrowableException` with the specified `Throwable`.
      Parameters:
        `undeclaredThrowable` - the undeclared checked exception that was thrown

    - #### UndeclaredThrowableException

          public UndeclaredThrowableException(Throwable undeclaredThrowable,
                                              String s)

      Constructs an `UndeclaredThrowableException` with the specified `Throwable` and a detail message.
      Parameters:
        `undeclaredThrowable` - the undeclared checked exception that was thrown
        `s` - the detail message

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getUndeclaredThrowable

          public Throwable getUndeclaredThrowable()

      Returns the `Throwable` instance wrapped in this `UndeclaredThrowableException`, which may be `null`.

      This method predates the general-purpose exception chaining facility. The `Throwable.getCause()` method is now the preferred means of obtaining this information.

      Returns:
        the undeclared checked exception that was thrown

    - #### getCause

          public Throwable getCause()

      Returns the cause of this exception (the `Throwable` instance wrapped in this `UndeclaredThrowableException`, which may be `null`).
      Overrides:
        `getCause` in class `Throwable`
      Returns:
        the cause of this exception.
      Since:
        1.4
