Mark Thomas resolved DBCP-305.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Thanks for the patch. It has been applied and will be in 1.3 onwards. I 
modified the patch slightly to use the same { location as the rest of the class 
and to make access to the SimpleDateFormat thread safe.

> Use API-specific exception for logging abandoned objects

> When a DBCP-managed object (Connection, Statement, etc.) is considered 
> "abandoned", a stack trace is emitted to stdout. Unfortunately, the stack 
> trace is for a simple java.lang.Exception (created in AbandonedTrace.init and 
> AbandonedTrace.setStackTrace) with no message.
> When scanning log files for exceptions, say, like this:
> grep "Exception" my_logfile.log, I simply shows:
> java.lang.Exception
> java.lang.Exception
> java.lang.Exception
> ...
> It would be nice to use a more descriptive exception (for instance, 
> AbandonedObjectException) and/or add a descriptive message to the exception 
> upon creation.
> For example, it would be useful to execute the above command and see:
> org.apache.commons.dbcp.AbandonedObjectException: DBCP object created 
> 2009-11-05 10:15:00 by the following code was never closed
> Having the timestamp and a definite identification of the exception (i.e. the 
> class name) on the same line of log output is preferable IMO.
> Implementation should be trivial; I'd be happy to submit a patch. Also, the 
> format of the logging information isn't part of the API itself, so it 
> shouldn't be a big deal to change it.
