> Last week I burnt many hours trying to debug why LdapNetworkConnection bind was failing.  Eventually after getting LDAP client API and Apache Mina in a debugger I found the SocketException stored in a Future object which is discarded by the LDAP client API.  Later I was working on LDAP search, my filter had a syntax error but all I would get is the exception message "The filter is invalid" when it turns out the internal FilterParser has a more elaborate exception message which is discarded.
> Personally I prefer exceptions that keep their root causes intact as that saves a lot of time and yields some insight into the underlying system.
