Runtime exception in PDFParser.parse()
Hi
Recently I started getting runtime exceptions in PDFParser.parse(), but I can't seem to get any information out as to why. The weird thing is that it only happens on Linux - on my laptop it is fine!
I have tried to get a stack trace (my code uses log4j), but all I get is:
org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerAdapter.log(Lorg/slf4j/Marker;Ljava/lang/String;ILjava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V
This is produced by my code:
try {
log.info("Parsing PDF document ...");
document = PDDocument.load(is, true); // skip corrupt pdf objects
} catch (Throwable t) {
message = "Failure when parsing PDF <" + filename + ">: " + t.getMessage();
if (t1.getCause() != null) {
message += " | CAUSE: " + t1.getCause().getMessage();
}
log.warn(t);
log.debug(message);
throw new Exception(message);
}
I have also tried to turn logging up in my log4j.properties:
log4j.logger.org.apache.pdfbox=TRACE
But I see nothing except the slf4j line above.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
- Chris

Re: Runtime exception in PDFParser.parse()

You don’t have to do anything to log runtime exceptions in Java, they are passed
up the stack until the process terminates and prints a stack trace. Trying to catch
runtime exceptions yourself isn’t necessary or advised.
Remove your exception handling code and have main() throw IOException.
