All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class ThrowableInformation
extends Object
implements Serializable

ThrowableInformation is log4j's internal representation of throwables. It essentially consists of a string array, called 'rep', where the first element, that is rep[0], represents the string representation of the throwable (i.e. the value you get when you do throwable.toString()) and subsequent elements correspond the stack trace with the top most entry of the stack corresponding to the second entry of the 'rep' array that is rep[1].
