In C   I can use the throw  statement to rethrow an exception while preserving the stack trace   try            catch  Exception e       if  e is FooException       throw      Is there something like this in Java  that doesn t lose the original stack trace

Stack trace is prserved if you wrap the catched excetion into an other exception  to provide more info  or if you just rethrow the catched excetion   try           catch  FooException e        throw new BarException  Some usefull info   e

I was just having a similar situation in which my code potentially throws a number of different exceptions that I just wanted to rethrow  The solution described above was not working for me  because Eclipse told me that throw e  leads to an unhandeled exception  so I just did this   try         catch  NoSuchMethodException   SecurityException   IllegalAccessException e                            throw new RuntimeException e getClass   getName            e getMessage       n    e getStackTrace   toString         Worked for me

public int read byte   a  throws IOException       try           return in read a         catch  final Throwable t               can do something here  like  in null              throw t            This is a concrete example where the method throws an IOException  The final means t can only hold an exception thrown from the try block  Additional reading material can be found here and here

In Java  you just throw the exception you caught  so throw e rather than just throw  Java maintains the stack trace

catch  WhateverException e        throw e      will simply rethrow the exception you ve caught  obviously the surrounding method has to permit this via its signature etc    The exception will maintain the original stack trace

You can also wrap the exception in another one AND keep the original stack trace by passing in the Exception as a Throwable as the cause parameter   try            catch  Exception e         throw new YourOwnException e
