InvocationTargetException is a checked exception that wraps an exception thrown by an invoked method or constructor.

As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism. The "target exception" that is provided at construction time and accessed via the #getTargetException() method is now known as the cause, and may be accessed via the Throwable#getCause() method, as well as the aforementioned "legacy method."

Constructor:

Constructor:
protected InvocationTargetException() { super((Throwable)null); // Disallow initCause } Constructs an {@code InvocationTargetException} with {@code null} as the target exception.
public InvocationTargetException(Throwable target) { super((Throwable)null); // Disallow initCause this.target = target; } Constructs a InvocationTargetException with a target exception. Parameters: `target` - the target exception
public InvocationTargetException(Throwable target, String s) { super(s, null); // Disallow initCause this.target = target; } Constructs a InvocationTargetException with a target exception and a detail message. Parameters: `target` - the target exception `s` - the detail message

 protected InvocationTargetException() {
        super((Throwable)null);  // Disallow initCause
}

Constructs an {@code InvocationTargetException} with {@code null} as the target exception.

 public InvocationTargetException(Throwable target) {
        super((Throwable)null);  // Disallow initCause
        this.target = target;
}

Constructs a InvocationTargetException with a target exception.

Parameters:

target - the target exception

 public InvocationTargetException(Throwable target,
    String s) {
        super(s, null);  // Disallow initCause
        this.target = target;
}

Constructs a InvocationTargetException with a target exception and a detail message.

Parameters:

target - the target exception

s - the detail message

Method from java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException Detail:
public Throwable getCause() { return target; } Returns the cause of this exception (the thrown target exception, which may be {@code null}).
public Throwable getTargetException() { return target; } Get the thrown target exception. This method predates the general-purpose exception chaining facility. The Throwable#getCause() method is now the preferred means of obtaining this information.

Method from java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException Detail:

 public Throwable getCause() {
