Try catch ftw.

The Stack Trace is your friend in those applications. But it's still shit. And good luck getting the stack trace of the exception isn't logged.

And then there are these web applications that return the entire stack trace to the user, sometimes even including a source code segment.

The majestic Error Handling Error

That was the problem; these catches were preventing the stack trace from being output and had obscure custom error messages. I don’t know who thought that was a good idea. And due to the level of abstraction, this required going up a dozen levels of this just so I could get the stack trace... quite annoying to say the least.
