Method Detail

getError

public java.lang.Throwable getError()

Returns the top-level error.

getRootCause

Get the original cause of the error. Use of ServletExceptions by the engine to rethrow errors can cause the original error to be buried within one or more exceptions. This method will sift through the wrapped ServletExceptions to return the original error.
