Root exceptions are discarded
-----------------------------
Key: DIRSHARED-123
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSHARED-123
Project: Directory Shared
Issue Type: Wish
Affects Versions: 1.0.0-M3
Reporter: Gerald Turner
Priority: Trivial
Last week I burnt many hours trying to debug why LdapNetworkConnection bind was
failing. Eventually after getting LDAP client API and Apache Mina in a
debugger I found the SocketException stored in a Future object which is
discarded by the LDAP client API. Later I was working on LDAP search, my
filter had a syntax error but all I would get is the exception message "The
filter is invalid" when it turns out the internal FilterParser has a more
elaborate exception message which is discarded.
Personally I prefer exceptions that keep their root causes intact as that saves
a lot of time and yields some insight into the underlying system.
