Rethrowing exceptions in Java without losing the stack trace

Question

In C#, I can use the throw; statement to rethrow an exception while preserving the stack trace:

try
{
   ...
}
catch (Exception e)
{
   if (e is         


        

Answer 1

You can also wrap the exception in another one AND keep the original stack trace by passing in the Exception as a Throwable as the cause parameter:

try
{
   ...
}
catch (Exception e)
{
     throw new YourOwnException(e);
}
