Timer.getException() returns a String?

[ralfoeldi]

Hi jBPM Team,

this is more a comment / change request than a question.

Timer.getException() returns a String instead of the Exception that occurred during execution. As I usually don't define ExcptionHandlers in workflows what getException() will return is the StackTrace of the DelegationException with a root cause (hopefully) somewhere in the first 4000 characters.

In order to find out what happend I would have to parse the 4000 characters of the StackTrace :-(

Any chance of getting an Exception instance in the future?

This looks like another JIRA issue to me ;-)
