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