Java: Cause Chaining and Error Context
Answer
Exception wrapping helps trace errors by maintaining the original cause.
By wrapping exceptions, you can include the original error as the cause in a new exception. This creates a chain that allows you to trace back to the root problem. For example, in a checkout process, if a payment fails due to a network error, wrapping the network exception as the cause in a PaymentException helps identify the actual issue during debugging.
