> In TrackingCodeEvents#checkTrackingCodeUrlParam, a provided tracking code is checked against the database. If not found, it returns "error".
> {code:java}
> if (trackingCode == null) {
> Debug.logError("TrackingCode not found for trackingCodeId [" + trackingCodeId + "], ignoring this trackingCodeId.", module);
> //this return value will be ignored, but we'll designate this as an error anyway
> return "error";
> }
> {code}
> The notice "return value is ignored" is not true because in the event handler, a non-success return value is handled to throw an excpetion:
> {code:java}
> // Invoke the pre-processor (but NOT in a chain)
> for (ConfigXMLReader.Event event: controllerConfig.getPreprocessorEventList().values()) {
> try {
> String returnString = this.runEvent(request, response, event, null, "preprocessor");
> if (returnString != null && !returnString.equalsIgnoreCase("success")) {
> if (!returnString.contains(":_protect_:")) {
> throw new EventHandlerException("Pre-Processor event [" + event.invoke + "] did not return 'success'.");
> } else { // protect the view normally rendered and redirect to error response view
> returnString = returnString.replace(":_protect_:", "");
> if (returnString.length() > 0) {
> request.setAttribute("_ERROR_MESSAGE_", returnString);
> }
> eventReturn = null;
> // check to see if there is a "protect" response, if so it's ok else show the default_error_response_view
> if (!requestMap.requestResponseMap.containsKey("protect")) {
> String protectView = controllerConfig.getProtectView();
> if (protectView != null) {
> overrideViewUri = protectView;
> } else {
> overrideViewUri = UtilProperties.getPropertyValue("security.properties", "default.error.response.view");
> overrideViewUri = overrideViewUri.replace("view:", "");
> if ("none:".equals(overrideViewUri)) {
> interruptRequest = true;
> }
> }
> }
> }
> } else if (returnString == null) {
> interruptRequest = true;
> }
> } catch (EventHandlerException e) {
> Debug.logError(e, module);
> }
> }
> {code}
> This leads to a flood of Exception stacktraces in the OFBiz logs.
> In my opinion, the checkTrackingCodeUrlParam method should return "success" if the tracking code is not found and should log to loglevel "info". It's not an error.
