How to store printStackTrace into a string [duplicate]
Something along the lines of
StringWriter errors = new StringWriter();ex.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(errors));return errors.toString();Ought to be what you need.
Relevant documentation:
Guava makes this easy with Throwables.getStackTraceAsString(Throwable):
Exception e = ...String stackTrace = Throwables.getStackTraceAsString(e);Internally, this does what @Zach L suggests.
You can use the ExceptionUtils.getStackTrace(Throwable t); from Apache Commons 3 class org.apache.commons.lang3.exception.ExceptionUtils.
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/
ExceptionUtils.getStackTrace(Throwable t)
Code example:
try { // your code here} catch(Exception e) { String s = ExceptionUtils.getStackTrace(e);}
