New to Java

Hi,

Is there a difference to Exception toString and getMessage ? Following code produces the same output if I trow an exception like this:

    throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("Cannot read RecordList, is empty");
    // ...
} catch (Exception e) {
    log(e.toString() + " " + e.getMessage());

It then output 2 time the string I have given as argument in the constructor of the Exception. If both are the same, what is preferred ?
