RecursiveAnnotationAttributesVisitor.visitEnd() has thrown a ClassNotFoundException

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
Javadoc
Thrown when an application tries to load in a class through its string name using: 

     
 
  • The forName method in class Class. 
    • 
 
  • The findSystemClass method in class ClassLoader . 
    • 
 
  • The loadClass method in class ClassLoader. 
    • 

 

 but no definition for the class with the specified name could be found. 


As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism. The "optional exception that was raised while loading the class" that may be provided at construction time and accessed via the {@link #getException()} method is now known as the cause, and may be accessed via the {@link Throwable#getCause()} method, as well as the aforementioned "legacy method." @author unascribed @see java.lang.Class#forName(java.lang.String) @see java.lang.ClassLoader#findSystemClass(java.lang.String) @see java.lang.ClassLoader#loadClass(java.lang.String, boolean) @since JDK1.0
