Hello I'm sorry that this mail is not a development issue itself, it is just a question about Tomcat' exception handling. I was checking some mails at Tomcat dev list and I found two interesting and contrasting responses regarding exception handling: one is from Mark Thomas and another is from Remy Maucherat:
Mark Thomas: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40tomcat.apache.org/msg45180.html Remy Maucherat: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40tomcat.apache.org/msg10280.html So, I just would like to understand why Tomcat don't care about those generic catches patterns (catch Throwable or catch Exception) as Remmy said in his mail, which contrasts with Mark comments. And also I would really appreciate if anyone could give me some insights in the matter. And lastly, I also would like to hear some comments about how frequent bugs are reported in Tomcat mailing list and not in the Bugzilla. I know the pattern is to use Bugzilla, but I saw some comments from Dr. Justin Erenkrantz (from Apache team) discussing that there are a lot of important bugs fixes only reported in Tomcat mailing list. I would like to thank you for the time. Any response will be very important to my research. -- Felipe Ebert
