All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`

public class ServerCloneException extends CloneNotSupportedException
A `ServerCloneException` is thrown if a remote exception occurs during the cloning of a `UnicastRemoteObject`.

As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism. The "nested exception" that may be provided at construction time and accessed via the public `detail` field is now known as the cause, and may be accessed via the `Throwable.getCause()` method, as well as the aforementioned "legacy field."

Invoking the method `Throwable.initCause(Throwable)` on an instance of `ServerCloneException` always throws `IllegalStateException`.

Since:
  1.1
