How do I loop through all the causes of a SQLException?

You can call the getCause() method of the exception repeatedly 

try {

...

} catch (SQLException sqle) {

  for(Throwable t : sqle) {

    System.out.println("Throwable: " + t);

    Throwable cause = t.getCause();

    while (cause != null) {

      System.out.println(“Cause: “ + cause);

      cause = cause.getCause();      

    }

  }

}
