Printing Exception Message in java

exception, java

Solution

The output looks correct to me:

Invalid JavaScript code: sun.org.mozilla.javascript.internal.EvaluatorException: missing } after property list (<Unknown source>) in <Unknown source>; at line number 1

I think `Invalid Javascript code: ..` is the start of the exception message.

Normally the stacktrace isn't returned with the message:

try {
    throw new RuntimeException("hu?\ntrace-line1\ntrace-line2");
} catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println(e.getMessage()); // prints "hu?"
}

So maybe the code you are calling catches an exception and rethrows a `ScriptException`. In this case maybe `e.getCause().getMessage()` can help you.

Problem

Is there a way to print an exception message in Java without the exception? When I try the following piece of code: ``` try { // statements } catch (javax.script.ScriptException ex) { System.out.println(ex.getMessage()); } ``` The output is: ``` Invalid JavaScript code: sun.org.mozilla.javascript.internal.EvaluatorException: missing } after property list (<Unknown source>) in <Unknown source>; at line number 1 ``` Is there a way to print the message without the exception information, source and line number information. In other words, the message I would like to print in the output is: ``` missing } after property list ```
