Description

The following code

import org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanMap;

import SetterTest.SetterThrownException;

public class SetterTest {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		try {
			BeanMap map = new BeanMap(new SetterTest());
			map.put("value", "value");
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

	public void setValue(String value) throws SetterThrownException {
		throw new SetterThrownException("I want to see this in the stacktrace");
	}
	
	
	class SetterThrownException extends Exception
	{
		
		public SetterThrownException(String message) {
			super(message);
		}
		
	}

}

will return this stacktrace

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
	at org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanMap.put(BeanMap.java:438)
	at SetterTest.main(SetterTest.java:9)

I think it should show the root cause of the exception

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
	at org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanMap.put(BeanMap.java:438)
