- ## Constructor Details

  - ### DecoderException

    public DecoderException()
    Constructs a new exception with `null` as its detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to `Throwable.initCause(java.lang.Throwable)`.
    Since:
      1.4

  - ### DecoderException

    public DecoderException(String message)
    Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to `Throwable.initCause(java.lang.Throwable)`.
    Parameters:
      `message` - The detail message which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getMessage()` method.

  - ### DecoderException

    public DecoderException(String message, Throwable cause)
    Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause.

    Note that the detail message associated with `cause` is not automatically incorporated into this exception's detail message.

    Parameters:
      `message` - The detail message which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getMessage()` method.
      `cause` - The cause which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method. A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.
    Since:
      1.4

  - ### DecoderException

    public DecoderException(Throwable cause)
    Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of `cause`). This constructor is useful for exceptions that are little more than wrappers for other throwables.
    Parameters:
      `cause` - The cause which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method. A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.
    Since:
      1.4
