J2CA logging/exception handling around SQLException

So I'm in the process of cleaning up the OpenEJB itest output as it
spits out an excessive amount of stack traces.  The exceptions are
just SQLExceptions that are being thrown as business method app
exceptions.

Seems any exceptions (e.g. SQLException) thrown from an RA is being
logged on INFO by GeronimoConnectionEventListener.  Can't quite tell,
but at first glance it looks like it flags the connection handle for
removal as well.

Is this right and is this what we really want?

OK, so I implemented the framework and entered a tracking issue

Good idea.  Any thoughts on how to actually implement the sorting
"framework"?  

If we had that in place, the actual act of implementing a sorter and
classifying exceptions for each driver is something that could keep
many a contributor busy for quite a while.

At the moment this is the correct behavior.  The solution is, for each 
driver, implement an "exception sorter" that  can determine if a 
particular exception means the connection is no longer usable.  Then 
"table doesn't exist" exceptions can be distinguished from "your db 
disk just exploded".  Unfortunately the jdbc spec has not seen fit to 
require drivers to distinguish these in a generic fashion.
