Display of runtime exception in postConstruct method [message #929112] Mon, 01 October 2012 04:29 Go to next message

I am working on a Eclipse E4 RCP application and I use Dependency Injection.

I have noticed that when there is a runtime exception in the postconstruct, then I don't see that Exception in the console (is it swallowed?). I do see an exception that that class can't be injected.

So for example the following code:

    @Creatable
    @Singleton
    public class OurClass {
        @PostConstruct
        public void postConstruct() {
            System.out.println("PostConstruct Start");
            throw new RuntimeException("Test");
        }
    }

    public class OurPart {
    	@Inject
    	private OurClass ourClass;
    }


Gives the following output:

    PostConstruct Start
    org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException: Unable to process "OurPart.ourClass": no actual value was found for the argument "OurClass".

Does anyone know how to make sure the runtime exception is also shown?

What happens if you make the injection @Optional

Phill,

I made all injections of "ourClass" optional. When I run the application I get a nullPointerException the first time I use that class.
Which makes sense, because the class was never created.

I still don't see the RuntimeException for creating ourClass.

There may be some way og getting the system to throw it I don't know but you could change OurClass

add a static field and a static getter for it
RuntimeException rte

Update the constructor

rte = new RuntimeException(test);
throw rte

The you can test in your main app
if (ourClass == null)
throw OurClass.getRte();

and throw the error yourself.

Not pretty, but...

Hi Phill,

Thanks for your suggestion. To do that I would really change a lot of code, just for the case that an exception is occurring. It is not that I am expecting some kind of exception.

I would like to see where I broke my class, if I break it. Now I only see that I broke ourClass and not why. At the moment I set a breakpoint at the constructor and walk though the code to see where it is going wrong. But I was hoping to display the exception at the injection, so I don't have to walk through the code when that happens.

I did found a workaround, similar to Phill's solution.

I wrapped my code with a try/catch block, which explicitly prints the stack trace.

	@PostConstruct
	public void postConstruct() {
		System.out.println("OurClass PostConstruct Start");

		// Workaround to make sure exception is displayed when thrown
		try{
			methodThatCouldThrowRuntimeException();
		}
		catch (RuntimeException re) {
			re.printStackTrace();
			throw re;
		}

		System.out.println("OurClass PostConstruct End");
	}


I am not happy with it, but it works for now. So if anybody knows how to display those exceptions by default, then I like to hear it.
