| Type | String |
| Description | Defines the exception(s) thrown by the method.
In the JeeWiz editor, multiple thrown exceptions may be specified in the 'exception' property using a comma separated list.
In XML, you can use one or more nested elements as an alternative to the 'exception=' property.
Any duplicate exceptions are ignored.

| Name | typeParameter |
| Type | typeParameter
|
| Description | A list of type-parameters on the method. For example, in the definition in Java 5 arrays:
static List asList( T... a )
the first would be represented by a type-parameter list with one TypeParameter entry - name="T", and no extends.
In the Java Language Specification (JLS),
a type parameter is also referred to as "type variable", and this list is referred to as the "formal type parameters" for the method.
They need not be provided explicitly when a generic method is invoked. Instead, they are almost always inferred.
By definition, a method is generic if there are one or more type parameters.
The parameters specified here are used to generate the method declaration.
