Returns:

the nested exception or null if none is present.

java.lang.Throwable getCause()

This method is intentionally defined to be the same signature as the java.lang.Throwable.getCause method in Java 1.4 and greater. By defining this method to return a nested exception, the Java 1.4 runtime will print the nested stack trace.
