Weblogic log filters customization

Question

There is an exception thrown and logged by the EJB container before I can handle it in my code (catch-block), so I decided to filter it. So, I am trying to create a weblogic log filters like explained here

Everything works fine as long as my filter looks like this:

NOT(MESSAGE LIKE '%java.sql.SQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException%')

But when i try to specify it more, for example which unique constraint I want to filter it is not filtering anything.

For example, I tried both:

NOT(MESSAGE LIKE '%ORA-00001: unique constraint (SOME.UQ_MY_CONSTRAINT violated%')

and

 NOT(MESSAGE LIKE '%java.sql.SQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: ORA-00001: unique constraint (SOME.UQ_MY_CONSTRAINT) violated%')

Even when I try to escape the special characters these messages continue to show in the log.

Here is the Oracle configurational tutorial

Answer 1

In the oracle documentation it is said

...A backslash character (\) can be used to escape special characters, such as a quote (`) or a percent character (%)...

But they are not giving full list of the special characters (or at least I couldn't find it)

The problem here was very simple - I was not escaping the brackets - ( and ). So, the log filter should look like this:

NOT(MESSAGE LIKE '%java.sql.SQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: ORA-00001: unique constraint \(SOME.UQ_MY_CONSTRAINT\) violated%')
