Logs of System Exception

[benchato]

Hi All,

In the EJB 3.0 specs I can read (table 14):

Bean method runs in the context of a transaction that the container started immediately before dispatching the business method.
This case may happen with Required and RequiresNew attributes.

System Exception -->
1- Log the exception or error.
2- Rollback the container-started transaction.
3- Discard instance.
4- Throw EJBException to client.

I made a simple test:

@Stateless
public class TestExceptionBean implements TestExceptionBeanRemote {

 public void test() {
 throw new RuntimeException("test");
 }

}

With the Administration console, I can see Jboss discarding the EJB instance.
The transaction is well rolled-back.
The EJBException is sent to the client.
....
But I can't see my System Exception in the log.
Any idea ?

Thanks a lot in advcance,

Benoit

Which version of JBoss do you use?

With the Administration console,
But I can't see my System Exception in the log.

You mean the jmx-console? There's a server.log file under %JBOSS_HOME%/server/< serverName>/log folder. See if you can find the exception logged there.

I'm using JBoss-4.2.2.GA
I use the jmx-console to monitor the number of destroyed instances of my Bean.

And I can't find my exception in %JBOSS_HOME%/server/default/log/server.log.

Because I need those logs, I put an interceptor for all my beans that logs exceptions when they occur. But this is a workaround...

Thanks a lot for your search, jaikiran !
Now I know it's not a configuration problem of my instance.
I voted for it in JIRA and will use my interceptor for the moment.

Thanks a lot !
