So the online game World of Warcraft is broken tonight, and it looks like a Web application running on Tomcat that’s built using the Spring framework is the culprit. These guys clearly need to familiarize themselves with the exception handling capabilities built into Spring so that they don’t spew their stacktraces at their customers. That’s just common dignity. Interestingly, it looks like they’re sending Oracle the wrong password, which is just weird for a production application.
Bad publicity for my favorite platform
