BTW- I didn't change to re-throw, just increased the visibility in the log.

I don't know the specific try/catch you're talking about but sometimes you don't want to rethrow a caught exception (for example you want to return null and not an exception). It's definitively a case-by-case problem. We should definitively start javadocing the methods telling explicitely what's the behaviour when an error occurs. > I'm in the process of changing the log.debug() to > log.warn() so there will be a better indication of any problems. +1 (but not everywhere :-)) -Vladimir -- Vladimir R.
