Garret Wilson created JEXL-341:
----------------------------------
Summary: Errors needs to provide more information on caught
exceptions.
Key: JEXL-341
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-341
Project: Commons JEXL
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 3.1
Reporter: Garret Wilson
I have a method {{bar()}} that happens to throw a {{NullPointerException}}. A
bug, of course. But when I use the following expression in JEXL:
{noformat}foo.bar(){noformat}
The {{JexlException.getMessage()}} result is:
{noformat}io.guise.mesh.JexlMexlEvaluator.evaluate@1:… bar{noformat}
This is too little information to be helpful (and too much irrelevant
information— see JEXL-340). If a {{NullPointerException}} occurred during
invocation of the method, it would be nice to know that. Otherwise the
developer has no idea if JEXL couldn't find {{bar()}} or what exactly the
problem was.
Obviously this is is a low priority bug that is in no way blocking anything.
But it sure would be helpful if it could be improved one day.
