public abstract class NestedRuntimeException
Handy class for wrapping runtime Exceptions with a root cause.
This time-honoured technique is no longer necessary in Java 1.4, which finally provides built-in support for exception nesting. Thus exceptions in applications written to use Java 1.4 need not extend this class. To ease migration, this class mirrors Java 1.4's nested exceptions as closely as possible.
Abstract to force the programmer to extend the class. getMessage
will include nested exception information; printStackTrace
etc will
delegate to the wrapped exception, if any.
The similarity between this class and the NestedCheckedException class is unavoidable, as Java forces these two classes to have different superclasses (ah, the inflexibility of concrete inheritance!).
As discussed in Expert One-On-One J2EE Design and Development, runtime exceptions are often a better alternative to checked exceptions. However, all exceptions should preserve their stack trace, if caused by a lower-level exception.

Currently just traverses NestedRuntimeException causes. Will use the JDK 1.4 exception cause mechanism once Spring requires JDK 1.4.
