Description
Name: rlT66838			Date: 07/22/99


In Beans.instantiate, the following code:

throw new ClassNotFoundException("" + cl + " : " + ex);

should read:

throw new ClassNotFoundException("" + cl + " : " + ex, ex);

i.e., using the better constructor for the error so that the
line number of the error in the init code of the class shows
up in the backtrace.

EVALUATION This is a good point. There are a couple of instances in Beans which could benefit from more information. ###@###.### 2001-12-10
