41  /**
42   * <p>Copied from Spring framework to keep Java 1.3 compatibility.</p>
43   * <p/>
44   * <p>Handy class for wrapping checked Exceptions with a root cause.</p>
45   * <p/>
46   * <p>This time-honored technique is no longer necessary in Java 1.4, which
47   * finally provides built-in support for exception nesting. Thus exceptions in
48   * applications written to use Java 1.4 need not extend this class. To ease
49   * migration, this class mirrors Java 1.4's nested exceptions as closely as possible.
50   * <p/>
51   * <p>Abstract to force the programmer to extend the class. <code>getMessage</code>
52   * will include nested exception information; <code>printStackTrace</code> etc will
53   * delegate to the wrapped exception, if any.
54   * <p/>
55   * <p>The similarity between this class and the NestedRuntimeException class is
56   * unavoidable, as Java forces these two classes to have different superclasses
57   * (ah, the inflexibility of concrete inheritance!).
58   * <p/>
59   * <p>As discussed in
60   * <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764543857/">Expert One-On-One J2EE Design and
61   * Development</a>, runtime exceptions are often a better alternative to checked exceptions.
62   * However, all exceptions should preserve their stack trace, if caused by a
63   * lower-level exception.
