How to disable stacktrace logs for application exception

abel.ferreira.1998 Jan 17, 2016 7:06 AM

In the last few days I spent a lot of time trying to find a way to maintain my jboss logs cleaner then they are today.

I work for a company where our websites frontend are developed with PHP and all business logic developed with JEE webservices deployed in Jboss 7 application servers.

We have a lot of SOAP webservices to deal with things like, shoppingcart, customers, security, ... and in all of them, we use application exceptions (example: UnauthorizedProductException) to represent business logic faults. Those exceptions are return in SOAP web fault, and is PHP application responsible to catch and treat them.

What happen today is that, whenever any of those application exception is thrown, Jboss automatically prints the exception and all stacktrace in jboss logs (server.log).

The application exceptions extend Exception class (because we want them to be checked exceptions) and are annotated with @ApplicationException.

I look for documentation and as I know, org.jboss.as.ejb3.component.interceptors.LoggingInterceptor.processInvocation, check if exception is an Application Exception and if so they should be not printed.

The problem is that, in my case, they are printed anyway and I don’t know what to do more. I start thinking that the stacktrace is printed not by LoggingInterceptor but by other Jboss class.

I would print some programmatically custom application logs to my application exceptions, but I don’t want to have all stacktrace for those application exceptions, I only want Jboss to log stacktrace for non application exceptions.

This could seams to be a minor issue but in order to keep our systems administrators log analysis easier, this is very important because they don't create false alarms and take care of real errors.

Example of the implementation scenario

@WebFault

@ApplicationException(rollback=true)

public class UnauthorizedProductException extends Exception {

public UnauthorizedProductException()

{

super();

}

public UnauthorizedProductException(String message)

{

super(message);

}

@WebService

@Stateless

public class ShoppingCartWS {

@EJB(name = "ShoppingCart")

private ShoppingCartInterfaceLocal shoppingCart;

public ShoppingCartDTO addItem(..) {

...

try{

shoppingCart.addItem(...);

} catch (UnauthorizedProductException e ){

LoggerHelper.log(LogLevel.INFO,"addItem", objectA, "UnauthorizedProductException");

throw e;

}

@Stateless(name="ShoppingCart", mappedName="ShoppingCart")

@Remote(value = ShoppingCartInterfaceRemote.class)

@Local(value = ShoppingCartInterfaceLocal.class)

public class ShoppingCart implements ShoppingCartInterfaceLocal, ShoppingCartInterfaceRemote {

public ShoppingCartDTO addItem(...) throws UnauthorizedProductException {

....

throw new UnauthorizedProductException("User are not allowed to add this item");

}

Making some debug the log is printed after line "throw e;" in ShoppingCartWS service.
