All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public final class IsDirectoryException
extends FileSystemException

Exception defined when the source or target of a filesystem I/O operation is a directory and should not be

Strangely enough, this exception is not defined by the JDK; this package defines it as inheriting FileSystemException (which itself inherits IOException) to account for situations where an operation is performed on a path which is a directory where it should not be; the primary candidates for such an exception are an attempt to open an input stream or an output stream on a path which is a directory: such methods make no sense if the path is considered to be a directory by the filesystem.
