Audit Java: system to detect exceptions thrown / caught (aop?)

Question

Due to checked exceptions, we can have some problems in production having all exceptions caught in the right place and logged correctly.

I wonder if there is some openso

If you've decided that you would like to take the AOP route, the Spring Framework provides an easy to use AOP framework. Essentially, like much of Spring, you would use a combination of a xml config file and some java code to define the AOP functionality you are looking for.

In your case, I believe you would be looking to define an 'After Throwing Advice', in which you would of course have access to the exception thrown.

A good place to start in terms of documentation is the AOP Chapter in the Spring docs: http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/reference/aop.html

Oh, and I believe all Spring projects are open source as well =)
