Constructor Detail

NOPLogger

public NOPLogger(NOPLoggerRepository repo,
                 String name)

Create instance of Logger.

Parameters:

repo - repository, may not be null.

name - name, may not be null, use "root" for root logger.

Method Detail

addAppender

public void addAppender(Appender newAppender)

Add newAppender to the list of appenders of this Category instance.

If newAppender is already in the list of appenders, then it won't be added again.

Specified by:

addAppender in interface AppenderAttachable

Overrides:

addAppender in class Category

assertLog

public void assertLog(boolean assertion,
                      String msg)

If assertion parameter is false, then logs msg as an error statement.

The assert method has been renamed to assertLog because assert is a language reserved word in JDK 1.4.

Overrides:

assertLog in class Category

msg - The message to print if assertion is false.

callAppenders

public void callAppenders(LoggingEvent event)

Call the appenders in the hierrachy starting at this. If no appenders could be found, emit a warning.

This method calls all the appenders inherited from the hierarchy circumventing any evaluation of whether to log or not to log the particular log request.

Overrides:

callAppenders in class Category

Parameters:

event - the event to log.

debug

public void debug(Object message)

Log a message object with the DEBUG level.

This method first checks if this category is DEBUG enabled by comparing the level of this category with the DEBUG level. If this category is DEBUG enabled, then it converts the message object (passed as parameter) to a string by invoking the appropriate ObjectRenderer. It then proceeds to call all the registered appenders in this category and also higher in the hierarchy depending on the value of the additivity flag.

WARNING Note that passing a Throwable to this method will print the name of the Throwable but no stack trace. To print a stack trace use the Category.debug(Object, Throwable) form instead.

Overrides:

debug in class Category

Parameters:

message - the message object to log.

debug

public void debug(Object message,
                  Throwable t)

Log a message object with the DEBUG level including the stack trace of the Throwable t passed as parameter.

See Category.debug(Object) form for more detailed information.

Overrides:

debug in class Category

Parameters:

message - the message object to log.

t - the exception to log, including its stack trace.

error

public void error(Object message)

Log a message object with the ERROR Level.

This method first checks if this category is ERROR enabled by comparing the level of this category with ERROR Level. If this category is ERROR enabled, then it converts the message object passed as parameter to a string by invoking the appropriate ObjectRenderer. It proceeds to call all the registered appenders in this category and also higher in the hierarchy depending on the value of the additivity flag.

WARNING Note that passing a Throwable to this method will print the name of the Throwable but no stack trace. To print a stack trace use the Category.error(Object, Throwable) form instead.

error in class Category

Parameters:

message - the message object to log.

t - the exception to log, including its stack trace.

fatal

public void fatal(Object message)

Log a message object with the FATAL Level.

This method first checks if this category is FATAL enabled by comparing the level of this category with FATAL Level. If the category is FATAL enabled, then it converts the message object passed as parameter to a string by invoking the appropriate ObjectRenderer. It proceeds to call all the registered appenders in this category and also higher in the hierarchy depending on the value of the additivity flag.

Specified by:

getAllAppenders in interface AppenderAttachable

Overrides:

getAllAppenders in class Category

Returns:

Enumeration An enumeration of the appenders in this category.

getAppender

public Appender getAppender(String name)

public Priority getChainedPriority()

Overrides:

getChainedPriority in class Category

getResourceBundle

public ResourceBundle getResourceBundle()

Return the inherited ResourceBundle for this category.

This method walks the hierarchy to find the appropriate resource bundle. It will return the resource bundle attached to the closest ancestor of this category, much like the way priorities are searched. In case there is no bundle in the hierarchy then null is returned.

Overrides:

getResourceBundle in class Category

info

public void info(Object message)

Log a message object with the INFO Level.

This method first checks if this category is INFO enabled by comparing the level of this category with INFO Level. If the category is INFO enabled, then it converts the message object passed as parameter to a string by invoking the appropriate ObjectRenderer. It proceeds to call all the registered appenders in this category and also higher in the hierarchy depending on the value of the additivity flag.

WARNING Note that passing a Throwable to this method will print the name of the Throwable but no stack trace. To print a stack trace use the Category.info(Object, Throwable) form instead.

Overrides:

info in class Category

Overrides:

info in class Category

Parameters:

message - the message object to log.

t - the exception to log, including its stack trace.

isAttached

public boolean isAttached(Appender appender)

Is the appender passed as parameter attached to this category?

Specified by:

isAttached in interface AppenderAttachable

Overrides:

isAttached in class Category

isDebugEnabled

public boolean isDebugEnabled()

Check whether this category is enabled for the DEBUG Level.

This function is intended to lessen the computational cost of disabled log debug statements.

For some cat Category object, when you write,

      cat.debug("This is entry number: " + i );
  

You incur the cost constructing the message, concatenatiion in this case, regardless of whether the message is logged or not.

If you are worried about speed, then you should write

         if(cat.isDebugEnabled()) {
           cat.debug("This is entry number: " + i );
         }
  

This way you will not incur the cost of parameter construction if debugging is disabled for cat. On the other hand, if the cat is debug enabled, you will incur the cost of evaluating whether the category is debug enabled twice. Once in isDebugEnabled and once in the debug. This is an insignificant overhead since evaluating a category takes about 1%% of the time it takes to actually log.

Overrides:

isDebugEnabled in class Category

Returns:

boolean - true if this category is debug enabled, false otherwise.

isEnabledFor

public boolean isEnabledFor(Priority level)

Check whether this category is enabled for a given Level passed as parameter. See also Category.isDebugEnabled().

Overrides:

isEnabledFor in class Category

Returns:

boolean True if this category is enabled for level.

isInfoEnabled

public boolean isInfoEnabled()

Check whether this category is enabled for the info Level. See also Category.isDebugEnabled().

Overrides:

isInfoEnabled in class Category

Returns:

boolean - true if this category is enabled for level info, false otherwise.

public void l7dlog(Priority priority,
                   String key,
                   Throwable t)
