Java: Cause Chaining and Error Context
Answer
A common mistake is losing the original exception cause.
When wrapping exceptions, it's crucial to include the original exception as the cause. Failing to do so loses valuable debugging information. For example, simply throwing a new exception without chaining the original one can make it hard to determine what went wrong.
