public abstract class ExtHandler extends Handler implements FlushableCloseable
An extended logger handler. Use this class as a base class for log handlers which require ExtLogRecord instances.

  • Field Details

    • handlers

      protected volatile Handler[] handlers
      The sub-handlers for this handler. May only be updated using the handlersUpdater atomic updater. The array instance should not be modified (treat as immutable).

    • handlersUpdater

      protected static final org.jboss.logmanager.AtomicArray<ExtHandler,Handler> handlersUpdater
      The atomic updater for the handlers field.

  • Constructor Details

    • ExtHandler

      protected ExtHandler()
      Construct a new instance.

  • Method Details

    • publish

      public void publish(LogRecord record)
      Specified by:
      publish in class Handler

    • publish

      public void publish(ExtLogRecord record)
      Publish an ExtLogRecord.

      The logging request was made initially to a Logger object, which initialized the LogRecord and forwarded it here.

      The ExtHandler is responsible for formatting the message, when and if necessary. The formatting should include localization.

      Parameters:
      record - the log record to publish

    • publishToNestedHandlers

      protected void publishToNestedHandlers(ExtLogRecord record)
      Publish a log record to each nested handler.
      Parameters:
      record - the log record to publish

    • doPublish

      protected void doPublish(ExtLogRecord record)
      Do the actual work of publication; the record will have been filtered already. The default implementation does nothing except to flush if the autoFlush property is set to true; if this behavior is to be preserved in a subclass then this method should be called after the record is physically written.
      Parameters:
      record - the log record to publish

    • addHandler

      public void addHandler(Handler handler)
      Add a sub-handler to this handler. Some handler types do not utilize sub-handlers.
      Parameters:
      handler - the handler to add

    • removeHandler

      public void removeHandler(Handler handler) throws SecurityException
      Remove a sub-handler from this handler. Some handler types do not utilize sub-handlers.
      Parameters:
      handler - the handler to remove
      Throws:
      SecurityException

    • getHandlers

      public Handler[] getHandlers()
      Get a copy of the sub-handlers array. Since the returned value is a copy, it may be freely modified.
      Returns:
      a copy of the sub-handlers array

    • clearHandlers

      public Handler[] clearHandlers() throws SecurityException
      A convenience method to atomically get and clear all sub-handlers.
      Returns:
      the old sub-handler array
      Throws:
      SecurityException

    • setHandlers

      public Handler[] setHandlers(Handler[] newHandlers) throws SecurityException
      A convenience method to atomically get and replace the sub-handler array.
      Parameters:
      newHandlers - the new sub-handlers
      Returns:
      the old sub-handler array
      Throws:
      SecurityException

    • isAutoFlush

      public boolean isAutoFlush()
      Determine if this handler will auto-flush.
      Returns:
      true if auto-flush is enabled

    • setAutoFlush

      public void setAutoFlush(boolean autoFlush) throws SecurityException
      Change the autoflush setting for this handler.
      Parameters:
      autoFlush - true to automatically flush after each write; false otherwise
      Throws:
      SecurityException

    • setEnabled

      public final void setEnabled(boolean enabled) throws SecurityException
      Enables or disables the handler based on the value passed in.
      Parameters:
      enabled - true to enable the handler or false to disable the handler.
      Throws:
      SecurityException

    • isEnabled

      public final boolean isEnabled()
      Determine if the handler is enabled.
      Returns:
      true if the handler is enabled, otherwise false.

    • isCloseChildren

      public boolean isCloseChildren()
      Indicates whether or not children handlers should be closed when this handler is closed.
      Returns:
      true if the children handlers should be closed when this handler is closed, false if children handlers should not be closed when this handler is closed

    • setCloseChildren

      public void setCloseChildren(boolean closeChildren)
      Sets whether or not children handlers should be closed when this handler is closed.
      Parameters:
      closeChildren - true if all children handlers should be closed when this handler is closed, false if children handlers will not be closed when this handler is closed

    • flush

      public void flush()
      Flush all child handlers.
      Specified by:
      flush in interface Flushable
      Specified by:
      flush in class Handler

    • close

      public void close() throws SecurityException
      Close all child handlers.
      Specified by:
      close in interface AutoCloseable
      Specified by:
      close in interface Closeable
      Specified by:
      close in class Handler
      Throws:
      SecurityException

    • setFormatter

      public void setFormatter(Formatter newFormatter) throws SecurityException
      Overrides:
      setFormatter in class Handler
      Throws:
      SecurityException

    • setFilter

      public void setFilter(Filter newFilter) throws SecurityException
      Overrides:
      setFilter in class Handler
      Throws:
      SecurityException

    • setEncoding

      public void setEncoding(String encoding) throws SecurityException, UnsupportedEncodingException
      Overrides:
      setEncoding in class Handler
      Throws:
      SecurityException
      UnsupportedEncodingException

    • setErrorManager

      public void setErrorManager(ErrorManager em)
      Overrides:
      setErrorManager in class Handler

    • setLevel

      public void setLevel(Level newLevel) throws SecurityException
      Overrides:
      setLevel in class Handler
      Throws:
      SecurityException

    • isCallerCalculationRequired

      public boolean isCallerCalculationRequired()
      Indicates whether or not the formatter associated with this handler or a formatter from a child handler requires the caller to be calculated.

      Calculating the caller on a log record can be an expensive operation. Some handlers may be required to copy some data from the log record, but may not need the caller information. If the formatter is a ExtFormatter the ExtFormatter.isCallerCalculationRequired() is used to determine if calculation of the caller is required.

      Returns:
      true if the caller should be calculated, otherwise false if it can be skipped
