Swallowed exception in case of connection failure

In my integration szenario BIRT retrieves a db connection by means of a JNDI data source.
If for any reason a connection cannot be obtained (e.g. exhausted connection pool), the result is a pdf without data. The calling application however has no clue that BIRT was unable to properly execute the report.

So I'm wondering why such an exception is not thrown to the calling application from task.run(). Is there a way to configure BIRT to throw such an exception?

I work with BIRT 2.1

Thanks.

Did you try using the following immediately after the task.run() method :

List errors = task.getErrors();

Great, that's it. Thanks!
