Automatic logging on Poco exceptions?

[thready]

Hi Poco Experts,

Just wondering - when there's a Poco exception, is there some way to automatically wire them all up to some sort of log file or to the event viewer?

Thank you,
Mike

There is a way but it is not a good idea. First, logging itself can throw. Second, logging library will eventually be separated from Poco - having Foundation depend on it would mean cyclic dependency.

Thanks for the reply alex!

In main(), you can put this:

// Load Poco logger (if there is a problem the program will exit)

try
{
// Your code
}
catch(Poco::Exception& e)
{
// Log using Poco logger
}
catch(std::exception& e)
{
// Log using Poco logger (will not be as detailed)
}
