public class GroupsException
extends PortalException

A GroupsException describes a problem in the groups structure or in the groups store. An example of a structural problem is an attempt to create a circular reference. If the problem arises retrieving or updating the groups store, the GroupsException should wrap an Exception specific to the store, probably a java.sql.SQLException or a javax.naming.NamingException.
