IllegalAccessException - Thrown if this Method object is enforcing Java language access control and the underlying method is inaccessible.

InvocationTargetException - Thrown if the property accessor method throws an exception

ClassNotFoundException - occurs if a given class cannot be located by the specified class loader

InstantiationException - Thrown if one of the following reasons: the class object

• represents an abstract class
• represents an interface
• represents an array class
• represents a primitive type
• represents void
• has no nullary constructor

IOException - Signals that an I/O exception has occurred.
