Beginner question on Exception handling

Questions & Help How to?
1

I am trying to make this snippet of code work but I am failing to do it. I want to catch any exception thrown by calling main from lein run port_number for example when port_number is already in use:

(ns clj-noob.core
  (:gen-class)
  (:require [ring.adapter.jetty :as jetty]))

(defn -main
  [port-number]
  (try
    (jetty/run-jetty
     (fn [request]
       (println request)
       {:status  200
        :body    "<h1>Hello, Clojure World</h1>  <p>Welcome to your first Clojure app.  This message is returned regardless of the request, sorry</p>"
        :headers {}})
     {:port (Integer. port-number)})
    (catch Exception e (.getMessage e))))

The Exception is not caught and the backtrace is printed on the console:

What I am doing wrong here ?
Thanks !

Binding exception was caught by internal Jetty handler and was logged to console. I think you should check Jetty docs to make it works for you (and remember to stop Jetty instances before start another one on same port). Also look at this article [https://8thlight.com/blog/mike-knepper/2015/05/19/handling-exceptions-with-middleware-in-clojure.html] to handle exceptions with middleware.
