19  /** ContinuationThrowable
20   * <p>
21   * A ContinuationThrowable is throw by {@link Continuation#undispatch()}
22   * in order to exit the dispatch to a Filter or Servlet.  Use of
23   * ContinuationThrowable is discouraged and it is preferable to 
24   * allow return to be used. ContinuationThrowables should only be
25   * used when there is a Filter/Servlet which cannot be modified
26   * to avoid committing a response when {@link Continuation#isSuspended()}
27   * is true.
28   * </p>
29   * <p>
30   * ContinuationThrowable instances are often reused so that the
31   * stack trace may be entirely unrelated to the calling stack.
32   * A real stack trace may be obtained by enabling debug.
33   * </p>
34   * <p>
35   * ContinuationThrowable extends Error as this is more likely
36   * to be uncaught (or rethrown) by a Filter/Servlet.  A ContinuationThrowable
37   * does not represent and error condition.
38   * </p>
