WorkManager RuntimeExceptions lost

[georgesberscheid]

Hi,

I noticed that if a Runtime Exception is thrown out of the run() method executed by the WorkManager, it disappears without a trace.
Wouldn't it be useful for debugging reasons to at least write a log entry with the stacktrace of the caught exception?

Thanks,
Georges

They're not lost, but you need to implement a WorkListener if you are scheduling work
to find out what how the work ended, including any exception that can be found in
the WorkEvent.

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/resource/spi/work/WorkListener.html#workCompleted(javax.resource.spi.work.WorkEvent)

And in fact, the exception is logged (at TRACE level) before invoking the listener,
see org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.work.WorkWrapper.completed()
