// The developers of JMeter and Apache are greatful to the developers
// of HTMLParser for giving Apache Software Foundation a non-exclusive
// license. The performance benefits of HTMLParser are clear and the
// users of JMeter will benefit from the hard work the HTMLParser
// team. For detailed information about HTMLParser, the project is
// hosted on sourceforge at http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/.
//
// HTMLParser was originally created by Somik Raha in 2000. Since then
// a healthy community of users has formed and helped refine the
// design so that it is able to tackle the difficult task of parsing
// dirty HTML. Derrick Oswald is the current lead developer and was kind
// enough to assist JMeter.

/**
 * Support for chained exceptions in code that predates Java 1.4.
 * A chained exception can use a Throwable argument to reference
 * a lower level exception. The chained exception provides a
 * stack trace that includes the message and any throwable
 * exception included as an argument in the chain.
 *
 * For example:
 *
 *   ApplicationException: Application problem encountered;
 *   ProcessException: Unable to process document;
 *   java.io.IOException: Unable to open 'filename.ext'
 *     at ChainedExceptionTest.openFile(ChainedExceptionTest.java:19)
 *     at ChainedExceptionTest.processFile(ChainedExceptionTest.java:27)
 *     at ChainedExceptionTest.application(ChainedExceptionTest.java:40)
 *     at ChainedExceptionTest.main(ChainedExceptionTest.java:52)
 *
 * Represents the output from two nested exceptions. The outside
 * exception is a subclass of ChainedException called
 * ApplicationException, which includes a throwable reference.
 * The throwable reference is also a subclass of ChainedException,
 * called ProcessException, which in turn includes a reference to
 * a standard IOException. In each case, the message is increasingly
 * specific about the nature of the problem. The end user may only
 * see the application exception, but debugging is greatly
 * enhanced by having more details in the stack trace.
