Answer 1

this would be good log4j error/exception logging - readable by splunk/other logging/monitoring s/w. everything is form of key-value pair. log4j would get the stack trace from Exception obj e

    try {
          ---
          ---
    } catch (Exception e) {
        log.error("api_name={} method={} _message=\"error description.\" msg={}", 
                  new Object[]{"api_name", "method_name", e.getMessage(), e});
    }
