Class UninitializedMessageException

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable

    public class UninitializedMessageException
    extends java.lang.RuntimeException
    Thrown when attempting to build a protocol message that is missing required fields. This is a RuntimeException because it normally represents a programming error: it happens when some code which constructs a message fails to set all the fields. parseFrom() methods do not throw this; they throw an InvalidProtocolBufferException if required fields are missing, because it is not a programming error to receive an incomplete message. In other words, UninitializedMessageException should never be thrown by correct code, but InvalidProtocolBufferException might be.

        public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getMissingFields()
        Get a list of human-readable names of required fields missing from this message. Each name is a full path to a field, e.g. "foo.bar[5].baz". Returns null if the lite runtime was used, since it lacks the ability to find missing fields.
