    Comment:
Toby, thanks

The reason this class was using System.err was because it was running before the logging subsystem had chance to start. I'm going to assign this to Dain as he is more familiar with logging and would know if this is a valid thing to do.

        Key: GERONIMO-264
    Summary: exceptions being swallowed at startup
       Type: Improvement

     Status: Open

Environment: fedora core 2
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_04-b05)


Description:
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.

regards,
toby
