Class InstantiationException

    java.lang.Object
      java.lang.Throwable
          java.lang.Exception
              java.lang.InstantiationException

    @TransactionType(value=NOT_SUPPORTED)
    public class InstantiationException

extends Exception

Thrown when an application tries to create an instance of a class using the `newInstance` method in class `Class`, but the specified class object cannot be instantiated because it is an interface or is an abstract class.

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.

Since:
  JDK1.0, CLDC 1.0, Java Card 3.0
