public class GeneralSecurityException
extends Exception
This is the general security exception class, which serves to group all the exception classes of the java.security package that extend from it.

Exceptions (no pun intended) are AccessControlException and CertificateException, which subclass from java.lang.SecurityException, and ProviderException and InvalidParameterException, which subclass from java.lang.RuntimeException.

This class is documented in JavaSoft's preview APIs, for introduction in Java 1.2.
