> javax.resource.ResourceException overwrites toString() like the following:
> public String toString() {
>     return getMessage();
> }
> Instantiating ResourceException without parameter getMessage() will return null - and this leads to NPEs in nearly every environment when the stacktrace is printed:
> java.lang.NullPointerException
>     at java.io.PrintWriter.write(PrintWriter.java:247)
>     at java.io.PrintWriter.print(PrintWriter.java:392)
>     at java.io.PrintWriter.println(PrintWriter.java:529)
>     at java.lang.Throwable.printStackTrace(Throwable.java:509)
> So I propose to either remove the toString() implemenation (java.lang.Throwable implements it correctly) or to implement it correctly in ResourceException, i.e. not returning null.
