[lang] RE: Exception to XML?

[Henri Yandell]

I think you're right. Looks like we need to make a few improvements:

1) getStackTrace: Should this handle nested?

public static String getStackTrace(Throwable t) {
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw, true);
    Throwable ts = getThrowables(t);
    for(int i=0; i<ts.length; i++) {
        ts[i].printStackTrace(pw);
        if(isCauseMethod(ts[i])) {
            break;
        }
    }
    return sw.getBuffer().toString()
}

static public boolean isCauseMethod(Throwable t) {
    // checks if this is a 'nested' exception. if so we trust it
    // to print itself and its children (?)
}

2)
  public void printStackTrace(Throwable t, PrintStream)  [calls
getStackTrace]
  public void printStackTrace(Throwable, PrintWriter)

Any views?
