        Parameters:
        throwable - the Throwable to filter stack trace.
      • getRootCause

        public static java.lang.Throwable getRootCause​(java.lang.Throwable throwable)
        Get the root cause (ie the last non null cause) from a Throwable.
        Parameters:
        throwable - the Throwable to get root cause from.
        Returns:
        the root cause if any, else null.
      • getStackTrace

        public static java.lang.String getStackTrace​(java.lang.Throwable throwable)
        Get the stack trace from a Throwable as a String.

        The result of this method vary by JDK version as this method uses Throwable.printStackTrace(java.io.PrintWriter). On JDK1.3 and earlier, the cause exception will not be shown unless the specified throwable alters printStackTrace.

        Parameters:
        throwable - the Throwable to get stack trace from.
        Returns:
        the stack trace as a String.
