I would suggest to do that anyways. Declaring the exception as
"final" is an abuse of the modifier. :-)

Btw, another (and quite useful) possibility would be creating
the xmldbexception in a factory method. That factory method
could take a throwable as argument. Within a 1.4 environment
it might call setCause(). Makes no sense for 1.2 and 1.3,
but doesn't hurt.
