public DelayedHandler()

Method Detail

doPublish

protected void doPublish(ExtLogRecord record)

Description copied from class: ExtHandler

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.

Overrides:

doPublish in class ExtHandler

Parameters:

record - the log record to publish

close

public final void close()
                 throws SecurityException

Description copied from class: ExtHandler

Close all child handlers.

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Overrides:

close in class ExtHandler

Throws:

SecurityException

addHandler

public void addHandler(Handler handler)
                throws SecurityException

Add a sub-handler to this handler. Some handler types do not utilize sub-handlers.

Note that once this is invoked the handler will be activated and the messages will no longer be queued. If more than one child handler is required the setHandlers(Handler[]) should be used.

Overrides:

addHandler in class ExtHandler

Parameters:

handler - the handler to add

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission(control) or the handler is protected.

See Also:

setHandlers(Handler[])

setHandlers

public Handler[] setHandlers(Handler[] newHandlers)
                      throws SecurityException

A convenience method to atomically get and replace the sub-handler array.

Note that once this is invoked the handler will be activated and the messages will no longer be queued.

Overrides:

setHandlers in class ExtHandler

Parameters:

newHandlers - the new sub-handlers

Returns:

the old sub-handler array

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission(control) or the handler is protected.

removeHandler

public void removeHandler(Handler handler)
                   throws SecurityException

Remove a sub-handler from this handler. Some handler types do not utilize sub-handlers.

Note that if the last child handler is removed the handler will no longer be activated and the messages will again be queued.

Overrides:

removeHandler in class ExtHandler

Parameters:

handler - the handler to remove

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission(control) or the handler is protected.

See Also:

clearHandlers()

clearHandlers

public Handler[] clearHandlers()
                        throws SecurityException

A convenience method to atomically get and clear all sub-handlers.

Note that once this is invoked the handler will no longer be activated and messages will again be queued.

Overrides:

clearHandlers in class ExtHandler

Returns:

the old sub-handler array

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission(control) or the handler is protected.

See Also:

removeHandler(Handler)

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.

This can be overridden to always require the caller calculation by setting the setCallerCalculationRequired(boolean) value to true.

Overrides:

isCallerCalculationRequired in class ExtHandler

Returns:

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

See Also:

setCallerCalculationRequired(boolean)

setCallerCalculationRequired

public void setCallerCalculationRequired(boolean callerCalculationRequired)

Sets whether or not caller information will be required when formatting records.

If set to true the caller information will be calculated for each record that is placed in the queue. A value of false means the {@link super#isCallerCalculationRequired()} will be used.

Note that the caller information is only attempted to be calculated when the handler has not been activated. Once activated it's up to the children handlers to determine how the record is processed.

Parameters:

callerCalculationRequired - true if the caller information should always be calculated before the record is being placed in the queue

isActivated

public final boolean isActivated()

Indicates whether or not this handler has been activated.

Returns:

true if the handler has been activated, otherwise false
