(It gets captured by the Reflection class and comes out as a ReflectiveOperationException), we throw a processing error as our current expectation is not for the UDFs to be throwing errors. (I can see why we would want to change this, but more on that below) All other exceptions thrown from UDFP load time till UDF initialization time, are caught and output as log errors/warnings. Because we can either not load any UDFs or drop the offender, and throw an SDE for unsupported function. So the idea posited would mean we throw an SDE if we receive a UDFException from the UDF. As this would be them signalling that they received some data (or something) they considered invalid, so it wouldn't actually be a processing error, but instead a signal to Daffodil that something was wrong with the received parameters? That makes sense. I'll implement. Re the backtrace, would it be preferable over something like the below? `[error] Error loading User Defined Function Providers: Error thrown in: org.sgoodudfs.example.StringFunctions.StringFunctionsProvider$CustomException: UDF Error!` ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
