I feel like Java('s libraries) forces this kind of exception inception sometimes. But there's a useful way to do it at least: set the original exception as the cause of any new exception thrown, and make sure your exception logger walks the cause chain. You'll have an insanely long stack trace in your logs, but at least it'll be accurate.
