I'm not keen on the name "cause" for the start of the exception chain. I'm not sure I have a better suggestion. Maybe "antecedent"? ;/
I actually like "cause" better than "antecedent", though not by a whole lot. The SAX exception (SAXException, of course;) provides a method getException() to retrieve the embedded exception, though I'd prefer a simple attribute or property. -Fred -- Fred L.
