No source code is available for type java.io.FileNotFoundException

[Ankur Agrawal]

Hi,
When i am trying to use File Handling at client side and so for the
same i have to use FileNotFoundException handling. But i am getting
following error:
No source code is available for type java.io.FileNotFoundException;
did you forget to inherit a required module?

It seems that the Emulated GWT JRE library doesn't include this
Exception class. How can i fix this error. Please suggest ?

Thanks,
Ankur

Some Java classes are not emulated on the client side or translated into javascript. You'll have to use that in the .server.* side area.

Are you talking about using the HTML 5 File API? If so, you should
never run into a FileNotFoundException there if that's one you're
adding since you can't directly open a file, it has to be done with
either a request to the server or through user interaction with a file
dialog or drag and drop. If it's the server that's going to be
throwing that error during an RPC function or something, I think the
client would just get an InvocationException anyways if you're
checking instanceof or something on the exception in the onFailure
method
