override printstacktrace

I am getting an exception in when running my program in eclipse. The entire trace is not shown. It displays some of the lines, but then is stays "and 12 more lines"
mtamonkey said that this issue was reported as a BUG to sun.
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4775147
It's not something that they'll FIX, but they do list the customer's workaround which was to override the printstacktrace function.

The exception class is com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException
I should create my own CommunicationsException?

package com.mycompany.exceptions;

public class CommunicationsException {

public void printStackTrace(PrintWriter s) {
// what goes here?
}

}

You can call http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Throwable.html#getStackTrace()

and print it yourself

I'm not following you... i have this:

try {
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
statement = connection.createStatement();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);
}

What do I do?

CEHJ

Instead of

>> e.printStackTrace();

Try

for (StackTraceElement ste : e.getStackTrace()) {
System.err.println(e);
}
