> IllegalAccessException swallowed in indexOfThrowable and indexOfType
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LANG-1228
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1228
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Bradley Hess
> Priority: Minor
>
> If {{ExceptionUtils.getCause}} is provided a throwable whose cause method
> cannot be interrogated by reflection due to an IllegalAccessError, the cause
> is not presented to the client.
> In principle this is to be expected from this legacy method. However,
> {{indexOfThrowable}} and {{indexOfType}} rely on {{getCause}}, and are not
> marked as deprecated.
> Now that {{Throwable.getCause}} has been in the language for quite some time,
> I'd like to propose that, until {{ExceptionUtils.getCause}} is actually
> removed, that its behavior be modified to first attempt to get the exception
> cause using normal invocation, falling back to reflection if no cause is
> found.
> I'll be pushing a GitHub PR to this effect.
