Synopsis

Class Name:

java.lang.IllegalAccessException

java.lang.Exception

Immediate Subclasses:

None

Description

An IllegalAccessException is thrown when a program tries to dynamically load a class (i.e., uses the forName() method of the Class class, or the findSystemClass() or the loadClass() method of the ClassLoader class) and the currently executing method does not have access to the specified class because it is in another package and not public. This exception is also thrown when a program tries to create an instance of a class (i.e., uses the newInstance() method of the Class class) that does not have a zero-argument constructor accessible to the caller.
