What does e.getMessage return?

[new2java2009]

If the following exceptions are catched, what will throwable.getMessage return?

thrown new ProgrammingException(e)
thrown new ProgrammingException("Database read failed", e)

Thanks!

System.out.println() is your friend.

Is ProgrammingException a well known class? If so it may document what getMessage() will return. Otherwise your aforementioned friend will be your only helpful one.
