http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36231 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-08-18 19:29 ------- Guys, you don't need initCause() to fix this problem, nor do you need to change the interface or specification. All you need to do is implement a method public Throwable getCause() { return getRootCause(); } there you go. This code will run on J2EE 1.3 just fine and this is something that the Tomcat team can do independantly of the specification. I also don't understand what "portability" has anything to do with this (maybe you meant backwards compatibility?). The way I see it, if someone is coding a webapp on pre-1.3, he can't possibly invoke getCause() because it does not exist. If he codes his webapp post-1.3, he expects getCause()'s contract to be met and we are in fact trying to fix ServletException so it meets its contract. There is no loss of "portability" or backwards compatibility here.
