              org.fusesource.hawtbuf.proto.UninitializedMessageException

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class UninitializedMessageException
extends 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.
