What is a Java Stack Trace? How to Read & Analyze Traces
A Java stack trace is displayed when an error or exception occurs. The stack trace, also called a backtrace, consists of a collection of stack records, which store an application's movement during its execution. The stack trace includes information about program subroutines and can be used to debug or troubleshoot and is often used to create log files. These exceptions could be custom (defined by the user) or built-in.
