+1 I think it is simply old code that has never been refactored. About the getLogger().debug() I would probably avoid it as it can be done by the caller when he intercept the new MessagingException. I usually prefer to log only when I catch and not rethrow (or loose informations rethrowing) otherwise I leave logging to the caller. Having the same problem logged multiple times is sometimes misleading.
