Exception and cause

Hi guys,

while fixing and closing issues on DIRSERVER, I saw 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1299

Seems to me to be a valid point : when throwing a new exception, it's 
probably a good idea to rethrow the initial exception as a Cause. I have 
done that in the server, and I'm currently running tests.

Do you have any objection about this suggestion ?

None. On the contrary, it's a good idea.

nope, it indeed helps to have the root cause, saves a ton of time on a
bad Saturday night bug chase :)
