Re: [Exist-development] Java exceptions crash the server

[Jason S. <js...@in...>]

Out of curiousity, how are you initially calling the XQuery?  REST, XMLDB, XML:RPC, etc.???

eXist should not be shutting down as a result, it should handle the Java exception.  But how it handles it depends, I believe, on how you have called the XQuery in the first place.

Subject: [Exist-development] Java exceptions crash the server

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
