How to display stack trace on a caught exception?

Question

I have a generic function that prints exceptions (using log4j):

private void _showErrorMessage(Exception e) {
    log.error(e.getClass() + ": " +  e.getMessage() + ": " + e.getCause() + "\n" +  e.getStackTrace().toString());
}

Instead of seeing the stack trace I'm seeing:

[Ljava.lang.StackTraceElement;@49af7e68

How can I view the stack trace of the exception properly?

update

log.error(e) <- shows the error, but doesn't show stack trace

I use the ExceptionUtils#getFullStackTrace method of Jakarta Commons Lang
