public class CascadingException

extends java.lang.Exception

implements CascadingThrowable

Class from which all exceptions should inherit. Allows recording of nested exceptions in a pre-jdk-1.4 environment.

This class originally came from the Apache Avalon server framework at http://avalon.apache.org/. It has been included here so that a dependency on avalon-framework.jar is not neccessary in Jicarilla's core.
