Subject: Exception handling
I am writing a very robust web-based application and I would like
excpetions, during runtime, mailed to the system admin. I have an extensive
mail system built into my app, and I can simply pass a String or
StringBuffer object as the parameter for the message content.
The issue is that I can't seem to create a decent exception using
Exception.toString( ) or Exception.getMessage( ). What I generally get from
these are bland and undescriptive messages about the error. eg:
java.lang.NullPointException. No line# and no further description. However,
if I use Exception.printStackTrace( ), I get a VERY descriptive exception,
but I can't seem to create a String from this exception.
Anyone have any ideas?
