All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class IterationsExceededException

extends ITIMException

Class represents an exception, which is thrown if the allowed number of iterations was exceeded while generating a random password satisfying all associated password rules. Exception may occur under one of the following conditions: 1. The password rules are too restrictive and therefore the generator couldn't create a strong password. 2. The password rules' contrain method implementations are weaker than the corresponding validate methods.
