http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36231 Summary: getCause() null for ServletException Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.5.9 Platform: All OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It seems that ServletException was written before getCause() was added to Throwable (jdk 1.4), and thus has its own getRootCause(). So generic error handling is unnecessarily harder, stack traces incomplete, etc. when a ServletException is thrown; e.g. in the ApplicationFilterChain code. I think ServletException should be changed, but the behavior could be changed even if thats not possible. For example, when throwing a ServletException with a root cause exception, also call the initCause() method. It returns a reference to itself, so you could even do throw (ServletException)new ServletException(msg, e).initCause(e); (or something similar if that doesn't compile). -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
