Mailets, exeptions and retries.

[Anastasios Angelidis]

Hi I'm experiencing a weird problem with the exception handling in the 
mailet api and the retry system of james.

I have simple mailet as is...
class MyMailet extends GenericMailet
{
   try
   {
      Do some IO...
   }
   catch(IOException ex)
   {
      throw new MessagingException("Here", ex)
   }
}

The exception is caught and re thrown, but the exception is printed in 
the JAMES console window not in the mailet log and NO retry or 
postmaster failure e-mail. If I surround My exception with one more try 
catch block it works fine. Exception is printed to mailet log and 
postmaster e-mail is delivered. Further more it it seems as if the 
IOException is printed with log message of the second exception. So the 
log looks something like.

Date-Time ...... There java.MessgeException: Here java nested exception. 
IOException Could no connect.

class MyMailet extends GenericMailet
{
   try
   {
       try
       {
          Do some IO...
       }
       catch(IOException ex)
       {
          throw new MessagingException("Here", ex)
       }
   }
   catch(Exception e)
   {
      log("There");
   }
  
}
