JDK-6857903 - SAXException.initCause() does not correctly set Exception
Description
SAXException *still* doesn't do the proper exception chaining, masking the root
cause of the problem.

Add the following method to SAXException:

public Throwable getCause() {
    return exception;
}
Comments
WORK AROUND public class SAXExceptionExt extends SAXException { private Exception exception; public SAXExceptionExt(Exception e) { super(e); exception = e; } public Throwable getCause() { return exception; } }

EVALUATION SAXException should implement getCause in order to do the proper exception chaining.
