How to Access Exception Class Variables?

Question

I am implementing custom Exception for Employee Service class. now want getter function for Exception class variables.

package com.sentienz.service.exception;

public class EmployeeServiceCustomException extends Exception {

    private final int code;
    private final String genericmessage;

    public EmployeeServiceCustomException(int code, String genericmessage) {
        super();
        this.code = code;
        this.genericmessage = genericmessage;
    }

    public EmployeeServiceCustomException(String message, Throwable cause, int code, String genericmessage) {
        super(message, cause);
        this.code = code;
        this.genericmessage = genericmessage;
    }

    public EmployeeServiceCustomException(String message, int code, String genericmessage) {
        super(message);
        this.code = code;
        this.genericmessage = genericmessage;
    }

    public EmployeeServiceCustomException(Throwable cause, int code, String genericmessage) {
        super(cause);
        this.code = code;
        this.genericmessage = genericmessage;
    }

    public int getCode() {
        return this.code;
    }

    public String getGenericmessage() {
        return this.genericmessage;
    }



}

Actually, I want this but I am not able to do this. is java exception class has all private variable or some other other reason for this problem.

 public int getMessage() {
        return this.message;
    }

The problem is that Throwable already declares getMessage() with return type String. int is not return type compatible with String. — Johannes Kuhn

There is no need to write your own getMessage since there is already one in the parent class Throwable.getMessage() - which you simply inherit anyway.
