Converting Java stack trace to string

If you have an Exception e, you might want to convert the stackTrace to a string to add to your logs.  Here’s a quick code sample I found to do so from JavaPractices:

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