You have to use getStackTrace    method instead of printStackTrace    Here is a good example   import java io           Simple utilities to return the stack trace of an   exception as a String     public final class StackTraceUtil      public static String getStackTrace Throwable aThrowable        final Writer result   new StringWriter        final PrintWriter printWriter   new PrintWriter result       aThrowable printStackTrace printWriter       return result toString                   Defines a custom format for the stack trace as String         public static String getCustomStackTrace Throwable aThrowable          add the class name and any message passed to constructor     final StringBuilder result   new StringBuilder   BOO-BOO           result append aThrowable toString         final String NEW LINE   System getProperty  line separator        result append NEW LINE          add each element of the stack trace     for  StackTraceElement element   aThrowable getStackTrace            result append  element          result append  NEW LINE              return result toString               Demonstrate output        public static void main  String    aArguments       final Throwable throwable   new IllegalArgumentException  Blah        System out println  getStackTrace throwable         System out println  getCustomStackTrace throwable
