Description

Bugtraq ID [6307070|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6307070

From John McClain:

/**

• Logs an exception. Guaranteed not to throw anything.
  */
  public static void log(Logger logger,
  Leve l level,
  String msg,
  Throwable thrown)
  {
  try { logger.log(level, msg, thrown); }

  catch (Throwable t)

  { // Don't make it worse }

  }

A safe version of logThrow (or maybe modifying logThrow itself?) could also be useful for code that is currently using the logThrow method.
