get rid of the absurd long stacktrace

[razor_harm]

Hi all,

Is there some way to get rid of the (sometimes) absurd long stacktrace. (J
Boss sometimes gives me > 10000 lines of stacktrace)...

Can this be turned off some way?

Regards,

Harm.

log4j? Create your own appender that doesn't do that.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunatly this does not help me much.
How could I 're-write' the Console appender so that it does nog print all these (long) stacktraces.

I think this has somehow to do with how JBoss wrappes exceptions....

Can somebody give a hint?

When searching for errors, I really like to see the whole stacktrace, so I am really glad that every exception has it's cause and is not masking the real error cause.
Genman's idea isn't so bad and I think it shouldn't be too difficult to write your own ConsoleAppender (at first glance ;-)
Just inherit from the log4j ConsoleAppender, overwrite append(LoggingEvent), do you own thing when there is a throwableInfo or let the superclass do everything if not.
