LazyInitializationException generate an error message in the logs ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3361 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3361 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.3.0.CR1 Reporter: benoit heinrich Priority: Minor Hi, When a LazyInitializationException is thrown a log message is automatically created by the exception class because of the line 19 in the LIE class: LoggerFactory.getLogger( LazyInitializationException.class ).error( msg, this ); An exception should not write log messages, this is part of the application that handle the exception that should decide either or nor a log message should be created. The exception should just carry all information with it and no more. Actually this is causing a serious problem to one of the application I'm working on because LIE is a normal exception and is caught and handled correctly and each time a LIE is thrown by hibernate I'm getting a full stack trace in the logs (which is wrong in my case because the exception is handled correctly). Also I don't want to change the log4j settings to ignore the LIE because I'd like to know when I get a LIE that is not caught. So my suggestion is to simply remove the Log entry from the LIE constructor since normally this message is anyway redundant because if the exception is not caught the application will dump the exception in most of the time.
