How to throw exception w/RMI from Server->Client w/o "nested exception..." mentioned

I have a Server throwing a custom exception defined:

Code:

---

package class.project;

import java.rmi.RemoteException;

public class SecurityException extends RemoteException {
        /**
        * Serializable class SecurityException requires declaring a static final serialVersionUID field of type long
        */
        private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

        /**
        * Constructor used to pass msg String argument up to Exception class constructor.
        *
        * @param msg  String argument 'msg' passed up to Exception class constructor
        */
        public SecurityException(String msg) {
                super(msg);
        }
}

---

to the Client via RMI, where the Client attempts to display the SecurityException:

Code:

---

        public static void performTestOne(ATM atm) {     
                try {
                        atm.getBalance(getAccountInfo(0000001, 5555));
                } catch (Exception e) {
                        System.out.println("Failed as expected: "+e);
                }
        }

---

And I am wondering how to only display the SecurityException details provided by the Server:

Code:

---

if ( !this.security.authenticateTransaction(account_info, account) ) {
                                throw new SecurityException( "Unable to authenticate transaction.  Invalid username/password combination." );
                        }

---

Unfortunately I am getting the following output:

Quote:

---

Failed as expected: java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException occurred in server thread; nested e
xception is:
class.project.SecurityException: Unable to authenticate transaction. Invalid username
/password combination.

---

What I need to see is:

Quote:

---

Failed as expected: class.project.SecurityException: Unable to authenticate transaction. Invalid username
/password combination.

---

Instead of

Code:

---

System.out.println("Failed as expected: "+e);

---

try...

Code:

---

System.out.println("Failed as expected: "+e.getCause());

---

When a remote object throws an exception, it gets bundled into a java.rmi.ServerException as the 'detail' field. Also, you'll have to change your catch statement to specifically catch a ServerException instead of the more generic Exception for this to work.
