Bradley Hess created LANG-1228:
----------------------------------
Summary: IllegalAccessException swallowed in indexOfThrowable and
indexOfType
Key: LANG-1228
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1228
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Bradley Hess
Priority: Minor
If {{ExceptionUtils.getCause}} is provided a throwable whose cause method
cannot be interrogated by reflection due to an IllegalAccessError, the cause is
not presented to the client.
In principle this is to be expected from this legacy method. However,
{{indexOfThrowable}} and {{indexOfType}} rely on {{getCause}}, and are not
marked as deprecated.
Now that {{Throwable.getCause}} has been in the language for quite some time,
I'd like to propose that, until {{ExceptionUtils.getCause}} is actually
removed, that its behavior be modified to first attempt to get the exception
cause using normal invocation, falling back to reflection if no cause is found.
I'll be pushing a GitHub PR to this effect.
