Actually, forget that as I've just read about serialisation and throwable in the Java Doc.
If the throwable does not survive serialisation, is there a way (at all) to recover the stack trace? There's a method to return the string representation of the stack trace. Does this get called (by JMSAppender or AppenderSkeleton) prior to any serialisation?
