Hi Kavita,
Let me make it clear about logging:
Logging and tracing are used to debug the code at runtime, these logs are stored in server and not visible to end user in the browser.
I am sure that the problem you are facing is entirely different from this, problem is the way you have coded:
- You should handle the exceptions using try and catch blocks. For example if you are executing RFC then you should catch WDDynamicRFCExecuteException and then you can log the details to standard logger.
- But NullpointerException or ArrayIndexOutofBoundException etc...these kind of exceptions you should not catch but you should code properly like checking for not null condition or checking index size.
If you handle your code well end user wont see any log traces in the browser. If you are still not clear paste the log printed in the browser so that we can help further.
