It could be done in the wrapper - but then you loose any possible optimization that the logger may have ( and there are quite a few things that can be done to reduce object allocation, etc). This could also be configurable ( including tunning like the method/fields used to walk the nested exception ), or to turn it on/off. I don't want to add too much complexity to the wrapper. BTW, JDK1.4 does this. Regarding serialization - I think the throwable should be included and all the information that is available, after all that's part of the information provided by the user.
