As a software developer, I spend a lot of my time tracking down my own programming errors, so it's important to use tools that (1) don't provide an additional source of errors and (2) help me track down the errors that I've made. I've only used one JEE application server so far, JBoss, and I would give it low ratings on both issues. Are there any application servers that are very stable and have good built-in error reporting capabilities?

Hi,
unfortunately error reporting doesn't seem to be one of the most compelling concerns between the major AS vendors, and yes, you are right: JBoss logging capabilities are poor and poorly documented (nonetheless you can find an acceptable balance between your deployments logging framework and making an appropriate configuration of the JBoss logging framework).
It's not getting better for other vendors (even commercial ones) from the most scrappy to the most honed . Everybody has it's own peculiar defect regarding this issue...just try to get Jetty log what you tell it to and you will know what I mean...or try to understand at a glance the (beautyful indeed) Websphere 6.1 Admin Logging Console...etc. etc.
I say: "Patience it's the virtue of the strong man". So... that the patience be with you :-)))
So long
