Class IllegalAccessError

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable

    public class IllegalAccessError
    extends IncompatibleClassChangeError
    Thrown when the runtime notices that a program tries to access a class or member which is not accessible from where it is referenced. Some examples are:
    • The superclass or an implemented interface is not accessible in the subclass.
    • Reading or writing an inaccessible field, e.g., a private field in another class.
    • Invoking an inaccessible method, e.g., the constructor of an inaccessible class, or a private method of another class.

    Note that this can only occur when inconsistent class files have been loaded.
