Stefano Bagnara commented on JAMES-372:
---------------------------------------
OutOfMemoryError is not a RuntimeException but an Error, isn't it?
The debug was from that code but I think the exception was really a
RuntimeException and not an OutOfMemoryError: it probably was encapsulated in a
RuntimeException before.
Let's read the DEBUG log...
> DEBUG mailstore: Exception retrieving mail:
> java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception caught while retrieving an
> object, cause: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError, so we're deleting it...
> good riddance!
So the "re" caught is a Runtime and is created by the
File_Persistent_Object_Repository with this snippet:
catch( final Throwable e )
{
throw new RuntimeException(
"Exception caught while retrieving an object, cause: " + e.toString() );
}
I think this patch is wrong (the OOME is not a RuntimeException!). You should
change the File_Persistent_Object_Repository.
