Description
Any application providing too much information in error logs and in administrative messages to the screen risks compromising the data and security of the application and system. The structure and content of error messages needs to be carefully considered by the organization and development team. The option to allow line debugging is enabled when a developer wants to trace code through a debugger such as Eclipse. Debugging must not be performed on a production server, and this option must be disabled.
