Folks,
Thanks for your efforts on JBoss. It's awesome. I believe that I
earned this rant by cleaning up the file where I found these problems
and submitting it to the patch manager on sf.net:
I just spent much more time than necessary to track down a bug that got
hidden by some code that looked like:
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I found this in the same file:
} catch (Exception e) {}
This is bad because it catches *any* exceptions that happen in the try
block, not just the ones that you're likely to be able to handle. This
makes debugging much harder because the system emits much less useful
information about the exception. I understand that it takes more time
to catch specific errors and deal with them but it makes the system
*much* more resilient.
Please, please, make sure that you catch only what your code can
properly deal with, and let everything else percolate up.
Regards,
Toby Cabot
