Re: Status class should have a Throwable field

[Stephan Koops]

Hello Paul,

if I understood you right, than you want to add method to the class 
Status to save the exception in the status object. But the Status 
objects are immutable as all metadata. So this won't work.

best regards

I would like to be able to have code like:

    try {
        // ...
    }
    catch ( SomeException e ) {
        response.setStatus( CLIENT_ERROR_BAD_REQUEST, e );
    }

That is that you can pass a Throwable to setStatus() and that the 
Status class have the additional methods of:

    void setThrown( Throwable t );
    Throwable getThrown();

The default implementation of the response that gets returned to the 
client will simply do an:

    t.getMessage()

and include that as the textual error message.  However, if I 
implement my own StatusService, I have full access to the exception.  
In my case, I'd like to return an XML entity containing an XML-ized 
version of the exception's stack trace.
