I'm kind of curious why you wouldn't want the stacktrace in "release" mode. 
Isn't it just as valuable to you then as it is during "debug" mode - perhaps 
moreso if it is a "release" version of your software?

You could just log the exceptions to a different level, one that is not enabled 
in the "release" mode, something like:

catch (SomeException e) {
   log.debug("caught SomeException", e);
   log.error("caught SomeException");
}

And then have the debug level disabled in "release" version.

Subject: Log stack trace or simply message option?



In some places in my code I use the Logger.error(String msg, Throwable
t) function to emit log events.  When running in "release" mode I'd like to 
just simply show the log message.  When running in "debug" mode I'd like to 
show the full stack trace.

Is there a way to disable logging the stack trace based upon a configuration 
option? Would I have to write my own code?

I did a relatively quick scan through the source and could not find a way to do 
it.

Cheers
