Tracing Exceptions

Exception logs are stack traces that you can view from the Waveset Debug pages or from the config/Waveset.properties file. Trace data does not include all exceptions by default, but exception logging can be an important and informative troubleshooting tool.

Use one of the following methods to enable exception logging:

• Open the Waveset Properties page (debug/Show_WSProp.jsp) in the Waveset Administrator interface. Locate the exception.trace key and change the Value to true.

• Open the config/Waveset.properties file in a text editor, and change the exception.trace key value to true. The following figure shows an example exception trace.

  

Waveset sends exception logs to stdout on the web application instance, which is often the application server console.

When you are finished, disable exception logging to stop unnecessary output to the application server logs. To disable exception logging, set the exception.trace key value back to false.
