[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HV-24) Improve the default message of InvalidStateException

[Tomasz Bartczak (JIRA)]

Tomasz Bartczak commented on HV-24:
-----------------------------------

This is a good idea, as any exception should mark every known symptoms in its detail message.

And it's so simple and not harming anybody while helping so much in knowing the exception cause:
It would be jest one line change in the super() in InvalidStateException constructor:

	public InvalidStateException(InvalidValue[] invalidValues, String className) {
		super( "validation failed for: " + className + " " + Arrays.toString(invalidValues));  //changed
		this.invalidValues = invalidValues;
	}

I've already made this change in my working jar and it helps a lot, but that would be great to see it in the codebase.

> Doing a printStackTrace on InvalidStateException does not give the actual invalid values anywhere.  Would greatly improving debugging speed if this was included by default as often this indicates a programming error.  Currently I have to run the code again and debug the right place to find out what the InvalidValues are.
