- ## Field Details

  - ### ANY

    public static final EventType<WebErrorEvent> ANY
    Common supertype for all `WebErrorEvent` types.

  - ### USER_DATA_DIRECTORY_ALREADY_IN_USE

    public static final EventType<WebErrorEvent> USER_DATA_DIRECTORY_ALREADY_IN_USE
    This event occurs when a `WebEngine` detects that its user data directory is already in use by a `WebEngine` running in a different VM.

    In general, multiple `WebEngine` instances may share a single user data directory as long as they run in the same VM. `WebEngine` instances running in different VMs are not allowed to share the same user data directory.

    When a `WebEngine` is about to start loading a web page or executing a script for the first time, it checks whether its `userDataDirectory` is already in use by a `WebEngine` running in a different VM. If the latter is the case, the `WebEngine` invokes the `WebEngine.onError` event handler, if any, with a `USER_DATA_DIRECTORY_ALREADY_IN_USE` event. If the invoked event handler modifies the `userDataDirectory` property, the `WebEngine` retries with the new user data directory as soon as the handler returns. If the handler does not modify the `userDataDirectory` property (which is the default), the `WebEngine` continues without the user data directory.

  - ### USER_DATA_DIRECTORY_IO_ERROR

    public static final EventType<WebErrorEvent> USER_DATA_DIRECTORY_IO_ERROR
    This event occurs when a `WebEngine` encounters an I/O error while trying to create or access the user data directory.

    When a `WebEngine` is about to start loading a web page or executing a script for the first time, it checks whether it can create or access its `userDataDirectory`. If the check fails with an I/O error (such as `java.io.IOException`), the `WebEngine` invokes the `WebEngine.onError` event handler, if any, with a `USER_DATA_DIRECTORY_IO_ERROR` event. If the invoked event handler modifies the `userDataDirectory` property, the `WebEngine` retries with the new user data directory as soon as the handler returns. If the handler does not modify the `userDataDirectory` property (which is the default), the `WebEngine` continues without the user data directory.

  - ### USER_DATA_DIRECTORY_SECURITY_ERROR

    public static final EventType<WebErrorEvent> USER_DATA_DIRECTORY_SECURITY_ERROR
    This event occurs when a `WebEngine` encounters a security error while trying to create or access the user data directory.

    When a `WebEngine` is about to start loading a web page or executing a script for the first time, it checks whether it can create or access its `userDataDirectory`. If the check fails with a security error (such as `java.lang.SecurityException`), the `WebEngine` invokes the `WebEngine.onError` event handler, if any, with a `USER_DATA_DIRECTORY_SECURITY_ERROR` event. If the invoked event handler modifies the `userDataDirectory` property, the `WebEngine` retries with the new user data directory as soon as the handler returns. If the handler does not modify the `userDataDirectory` property (which is the default), the `WebEngine` continues without the user data directory.
