             Summary: Exception laundering in JpaTemplate impls
                 Key: ARIES-1415
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-1415
             Project: Aries
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JPA
    Affects Versions: jpa-2.2.0
            Reporter: Matthew Pitts


Currently XaJpaTemplate and ResourceLocalJpaTemplate wrap all caught exceptions 
in a  new RuntimeException and throw that instead of the original. This can 
make it problematic to integrate with code that wants to run txExpr methods and 
catch specific exceptions - like NoResultException or other type of recoverable 
exception.

Perhaps a method (like launderTxException) could be added to their base class - 
AbstractJpaTemplate - which could allow for additional exception laundering.

Specifically, I thinking of something that would actually attempt to 
instantiate a new instance of the original exception type via reflection and 
populate it with the necessary detail message. If it is unable to instantiate 
the original exception, then it can simply rethrow it as-is or maintain the 
original behavior of wrapping it in a RuntimeException.

Something like this:

{code}
protected RuntimeException launderTxException(Throwable original, String 
message) {
        if (RuntimeException.class.isInstance(original)) {
            return wrapTxException(RuntimeException.class.cast(original), 
message);
        }
        else {
            return new RuntimeException(message, original);
        }
    }

    protected RuntimeException wrapTxException(RuntimeException original, 
String message) {
        if (message == null)
            return original;

        try {
            RuntimeException wrapper = original.getClass().getConstructor(new 
Class[]
            { String.class }).newInstance(message);
            wrapper.initCause(original);
            return wrapper;
        }
        catch (ReflectiveOperationException e) {
            return original;
        }
    }
{code}

Thoughts, comments, criticisms?
