How to get real code for XMLDBException

[jcplerm]

I am trying to figure out how to identify when an exception is related to trying to remove a document that does not exist anymore. In this type of situation I would just like to ignore it and continue normally (I don't care, if it's no longer there, good!).   But the XMLDBException does not report a code for this condition all codes are set to ZERO). So, there is no way to distinguish from other failures.   I tried the code below:               try {           getXmldbColl().removeResource(documentId);        }      catch(Exception e)      {        e.printStackTrace();               if (e instanceof XMLDBException) {                    Throwable e2 = ((XMLDBException) e).getCause();                    System.out.println("XMLDBException code: " + ((XmlRpcException)e2).code);                    if (e2!=null) {                         System.out.println("Cause class: " + e2.getClass());                         if (e2 instanceof XmlRpcException) {                                  System.out.println("Cause code: " + ((XmlRpcException)e2).code);                                  System.out.println("Cause msg: " + ((XmlRpcException)e2).getMessage());                         }                    }               }               throw e;        }   The code above prints something like:   XMLDBException code: 0 Cause class: class org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException Cause code: 0 Cause msg: java.lang.Exception: org.apache.xindice.core.DBException: Document Does Not Exist   At best I could parse the message of the XmlRpcException for substring "Document Does Not Exist".   This is like pulling tooth....   All codes set to ZERO: this is tough!!!   Thanks,   jlerm
