Mailets, exeptions and retries.

[Anastasios Angelidis <vo...@videotron.ca>]

Hi I'm experiencing a weird problem with the exception handling in the 
mailet api and the retry system of james.

I have simple mailet as is...

class MyMailet extends GenericMailet
{
    try
    {
       Do some IO...
    }
    catch(IOException ex)
    {
       throw new MessagingException("Here", ex)
    }
}

The exception is caught and re thrown, but the exception is printed in 
the JAMES console window not in the mailet log and NO retry or 
postmaster failure e-mail. If I surround My exception with one more try 
catch block it works fine. Exception is printed to mailet log and 
postmaster e-mail is delivered. Further more it it seems as if the 
IOException is printed with log message of the second exception. So the 
log looks something like.

Date-Time ...... There java.MessgeException: Here java nested exception. 
IOException Could no connect.

class MyMailet extends GenericMailet
{
    try
    {
        try
        {
           Do some IO...
        }
        catch(IOException ex)
        {
           throw new MessagingException("Here", ex)
        }
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
       log("There");
    }
   
}
