---------------------------------
Summary: Hard to determinate the cause of mail provider setting
error due to no stacktrace are logged
Key: ROL-2078
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-2078
Project: Apache Roller
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Installation & Configuration
Affects Versions: 5.1.2
Reporter: Kohei Nozaki
Assignee: Roller Unassigned
Priority: Minor
Currently, if Roller installation has any problem in mail provider setting,
only following message are logged:
{noformat}
WARN 2014-05-16 16:01:39,233 WebloggerStartup:prepare - Failed to setup mail
provider, continuing anyways.
Reason: ERROR connecting to mail server
{noformat}
That is because logging procedure simply discarded the stacktrace:
{code:java}
// setup mail provider, if configured
try {
mailProvider = new MailProvider();
} catch(StartupException ex) {
LOG.warn("Failed to setup mail provider, continuing anyways.\n"
+ "Reason: " + ex.getMessage());
}
{code}
I think it's not informative. recently I got stucked in mail provider
configuration due to this. in my case, the cause was missing intermediate SSL
certification. I think it's very difficult to determine that cause without
stacktrace or message of parent exception in such case.
I guess some Roller installation may not have mail provider intentionally, so
adding stacktrace logging in a verbose level than WARN seems reasonable.
