Hi Frank/Alena/Sheng! Actually I hadn't modified that part of the code when making changes earlier, but we definitely should be seeing more than just classname@hash-of-object which is toString()'s default output when it's passed an Object, so I'll do what Alena suggested and override toString in the ExceptionResponse class. However, I have a question for Frank - is it necessary for us to print out the exception stack trace, since that would surely show up in the mgmt. server log file? Also, wanting to print the stack trace would mean having to change quite a few parts of the code to pass the exception object to the calls that build the responses to the exception. Any specific reason why this wasn't the approach to begin with, other than that the exception stack trace would show up in the mgmt. server log file?
Finally, the function CompleteAsyncJob() which prints out the message Sheng referred to: s_logger.debug("Complete async job-" + jobId + ", jobStatus: " + jobStatus + ", resultCode: " + resultCode + ", result: " + resultObject); is invoked at different parts of the code that builds resultObject differently - in extractVolume() in ManagementServerImpl.java and updateDatabase() in UploadListener.java, it's of type ExtractResponse instead of ExceptionResponse. So I think I'll have to override toString() in both ExceptionResponse and ExtractResponse classes - Alena, does that sound right?

Vijay, please make sure stack trace is logged as well.
