I guess most experienced people in java agree that RuntimeExceptions represent Errors, while Checked Exceptions represents a sort of return values. A Container like JBoss should catch application errors aka RuntimeExceptions at some point and log them away. So application developers like me can follow the stacktrace and find/ debug the cause of the error. Jboss does behave like this, but with a big drawback: it logs only the RuntimeExceptions Message, NOT the full stacktrace! Thus rendering the logfile analysis mostly useless. Does anybody know the reason JBoss behaves like this and if there exists a remedy? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3969810#...
