[jira] Commented: (JAMES-678) Give helpful message when creating
server sockets fails
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-678?page=comments#action_12448680 ]
Bernd Fondermann commented on JAMES-678:
----------------------------------------
Currently, the message dumped to console counts 240 lines of redundant and uninformative stacktrace.
This can be controlled from within AbstractJamesServer.initialize() only by not throwing the exception - which is a bad idea.
Immediatly before re-throwing the exception, I propose to write a prominent and useful message to console + log:
...
James Mail Server 3.0-dev
-------------------------------
FATAL ERROR when starting service 'Remote Manager Service'! could not bind to 0.0.0.0:4555. Port is already in use by another application
-------------------------------
(...avalanche of stack trace follows...)

> It is a common problem when starting James that server sockets (POP3, SMTP, IMAP) are already bound by other applications or James is not given enough rights to bind privileged ports. While this can't be fixed within James, error messages given by James are confusing many users.
> We should provide more extensive, verbose and helpful error messages.
