[Exist-development] Java exceptions crash the server

[Lauri H. <lau...@ho...>]

Hello all,

I have a java module inside exist doing various things and I've across some problems with it.
Granted my java code is behaving badly and causing exceptions, which I am in the process of addressing but still I wonder whether eXist is behaving properly as well.

My code causes an org.w3c.dom.DOMException with a HIERACHY REQUEST ERROR being the cause and this causes eXist to shut down. 
Earlier I had a null pointer exception which also caused the same effect. The null pointer exception is fixed and I am in the process of addressing the DOMException. 
But regardless of the exception is eXist supposed to shut down when a java module does these things?

I know I have to write better java code :) but still it would be easier on the mind when I did not crash the server with my faulty java module. 

Best regards,
Lauri Hyttinen
