Get detail messages of chained exceptions Java
I think what you need is:
public static List<String> getExceptionMessageChain(Throwable throwable) {
List<String> result = new ArrayList<String>();
while (throwable != null) {
result.add(throwable.getMessage());
throwable = throwable.getCause();
}
return result; //["THIRD EXCEPTION", "SECOND EXCEPTION", "FIRST EXCEPTION"]
}
Cycle through the exception cause and append the message in each exception.
try
{
try
{
try
{
try
{
throw new RuntimeException("Message");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw new Exception("FIRST EXCEPTION", e);
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw new Exception("SECOND EXCEPTION", e);
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw new Exception("THIRD EXCEPTION", e);
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
String message = e.getMessage();
Throwable inner = null;
Throwable root = e;
while ((inner = root.getCause()) != null)
{
message += " " + inner.getMessage();
root = inner;
}
System.out.println(message);
}
Which prints
THIRD EXCEPTION SECOND EXCEPTION FIRST EXCEPTION Message
You can just add the previous exception message on each exception
This is an example :
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
try {
try {
try {
throw new Exception();
// Some error here
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new Exception("FIRST EXCEPTION", e);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Exception e2 = new Exception("SECOND EXCEPTION + " + e.getMessage());
throw e2;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Exception e3 = new Exception("THIRD EXCEPTION + " + e.getMessage());
throw e3;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
The result is : java.lang.Exception: THIRD EXCEPTION + SECOND EXCEPTION + FIRST EXCEPTION
you can better use it this way, merge the message()
of previous Exception
with the message()
of new Exception
you are throw
ing:
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new Exception("FIRST EXCEPTION" + e.getMessage(), e);
}
