Class EOFException

    java.lang.Object
      java.lang.Throwable
          java.lang.Exception
              java.io.IOException
                  java.io.EOFException

    @TransactionType(value=NOT_SUPPORTED)
    public class EOFException

extends IOException

Signals that an end of file or end of stream has been reached unexpectedly during input.

This exception is mainly used by data input streams, which generally expect a binary file in a specific format, and for which an end of stream is an unusual condition. Most other input streams return a special value on end of stream.

Note that some input operations react to end-of-file by returning a distinguished value (such as `-1`) rather than by throwing an exception.

Direct instances of this exception class are not bound to any context and can be passed between contexts without any restrictions. Objects created and returned by the methods of this class are owned by the caller. In particular, a call to the `Throwable.getMessage()` returns a String instance bound to the owner context of the caller.

See Runtime Environment Specification for the Java Card Platform, Connected Edition, chapter 7 for details regarding transfer of ownership.
