Well, then it still would be discarded (althrough not neccesarily silently :)). BTW, I don't think System.err is a good idea. It is `statically initialized'? I think then this means it is unclear who the caller is and who could catch this exception. Wouldn't it be better to store the exception in a member and throw it when needing Zystem (e.g. in new or open)? oki, Steffen About Ingenico: Ingenico is a leading provider of payment solutions, with over 15 million terminals deployed in more than 125 countries.
