Converting Stacktrace to String

To store a stack trace as a string, you can use Throwable.printStackTrace(...) For example:

public static String getStackTrace(
  Throwable throwable
){
  Writer result = new StringWriter();
  PrintWriter printWriter =
    new PrintWriter(result);
  throwable.printStackTrace(printWriter);
  return result.toString();
}

In the above example, getStackTrace takes a Throwable as a parameter and uses printStackTrace to print it to a PrintWriter output stream. This output is collected by the StringWriter and converted to a string using StringWriter.toString().
