Name

VerifyError

Synopsis

Class Name:

java.lang.VerifyError

Superclass:

java.lang.LinkageError

Immediate Subclasses:

None

Interfaces Implemented:

None

Availability:

JDK 1.0 or later

Description

A VerifyError is thrown when the byte-code verifier detects that a class file, though well-formed, contains some sort of internal inconsistency or security problem.

As part of loading the byte-codes for a class, the Java virtual machine may run the .class file through the byte-code verifier. The default mode of the virtual machine causes it not to verify classes that are found locally, however. Thus, after compiling an applet and running it locally, you may still get a VerifyError when you put it on a web server.
