All...

Is there any chance that the logging information produced on the server could be improved?

Here's an example error from our server (v4.1.0 rc1) logs:

This error would be much more helpful if it included the Javascript stack trace (where applicable) since we often need to know what code called the method that triggered the error not just where the error occurred.

Also, the logging does not include the name of the affected Solution. Since we have a number of Solutions running on a single server it makes sense that all errors that are applicable to a single Solution should include the Solution name. It looks like Servoy is using log4j so it would be relatively easy to use the MDC or NDC features to include the Solution name.

Thanks...
