java - Sonar complaining about logging and rethrowing the exception

Question

I have the following piece of code in my program and I am running SonarQube 5 for code quality check on it after integrating it with Maven.

However, Sonar is complaining that I should Either log or rethrow this exception.

What am I missing here? Am I not already logging the exception?

 private boolean authenticate(User user) {
        boolean validUser = false;
        int validUserCount = 0;
        try {
            DataSource dataSource = (DataSource) getServletContext().getAttribute("dataSource");
            validUserCount = new MasterDao(dataSource).getValidUserCount(user);
        } catch (SQLException sqle) {
            LOG.error("Exception while validating user credentials for user with username: " + user.getUsername() + " and pwd:" + user.getPwd());
            LOG.error(sqle.getMessage());
        }
        if (validUserCount == 1) {
            validUser = true;
        }
        return validUser;
    }

You should do it this way :

try {
    DataSource dataSource = (DataSource) getServletContext().getAttribute("dataSource");
    validUserCount = new MasterDao(dataSource).getValidUserCount(user);
} catch (SQLException sqle) {
    LOG.error("Exception while validating user credentials for user with username: " +
            user.getUsername() + " and pwd:" + user.getPwd(), sqle);
}

Sonar shouldn't bother you anymore
