I have a rather newbie question but hopefully you can help advise. If my existing web application logs the stack trace to the filesystem/database, how can I keep that functionality and fit that into your framework? Logging of the original exception stack trace is important to me for debugging the source problem and if I wrap everything into a BaseAppException sub class then I would not be able to see the stack trace.

Wrapping the root exception with BaseAppException will not the stack-trace of original cause if you are working in JDK 1.4+ environment. However, for older JDK versions, there is a problem in keeping original stacktrace intact. <b/> In that case you need to modify BaseAppException for root-cause stacktrace implementation. You can take a look on NestedCheckedException implementation in Spring framework as a reference for the same.
