[jira] Updated: (GERONIMO-264) exceptions being swallowed at startup

["toby cabot (JIRA)" <de...@geronimo.apache.org>]

     [ http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-264?page=history ]

toby cabot updated GERONIMO-264:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: Daemon-56609-diff.txt

here's an updated patch which merges with version 56609 of Daemon.java.  While this is a trivial change in terms of code, it makes a big difference in usability, especially for new users.  Without the patch, exceptions appear out of order which makes it harder to see what caused what.  I think that this would be a worthwhile improvement for M3.

> some exceptions that are thrown during startup are swallowed and don't show up in the logs.
> i'm at the 'monkey and typewriter' stage of the geronimo learning curve so i'm a good randomness injector.  i had a problem where geronimo would try to start up and then go directly to shutdown for no apparent reason.  actually, i think i've had a few:
> 15:50:17,290 DEBUG [GBeanMBean] geronimo.config:name="skeleton/RA" State changed from stopped to starting
> 15:50:17,292 DEBUG [Configuration] ClassPath for skeleton/RA resolved to [file:/home/tcabot/try/incubator-geronimo/target/config-store/8/connector/skeleton-ra.jar]
> ra test setting configParameter to NewStringValue
> 15:50:17,737 DEBUG [SpreadManagedConnectionFactory] BaseManagedConnectionFactory()
> 15:50:17,737 DEBUG [SpreadManagedConnectionFactory] SpreadManagedConnectionFactory()
> 15:50:18,425 DEBUG [GBeanMBean] geronimo.config:name="skeleton/RA" State changed from starting to failed
> 15:50:18,426 INFO  [Kernel] Starting kernel shutdown
> i'll include a patch that logs the problem in the catch clause in Configuration.doStart().  There might be better places to do this, but as long as it gets done *somewhere* i'm happy.
