Class Hierarchy
- All Implemented Interfaces:
LoggerRepository,RendererSupport,ThrowableRendererSupport
The casual user does not have to deal with this class directly.
The structure of the logger hierarchy is maintained by the getLogger(java.lang.String) method. The hierarchy is such that
children link to their parent but parents do not have any pointers to their children. Moreover, loggers can be
instantiated in any order, in particular descendant before ancestor.
In case a descendant is created before a particular ancestor, then it creates a provision node for the ancestor and adds itself to the provision node. Other descendants of the same ancestor add themselves to the previously created provision node.

addRenderer
Add an object renderer for a specific class. -
addHierarchyEventListener
Description copied from interface:LoggerRepositoryAdd aHierarchyEventListenerevent to the repository.- Specified by:

clear
public void clear()This call will clear all logger definitions from the internal hashtable. Invoking this method will irrevocably mess up the logger hierarchy.You should really know what you are doing before invoking this method.
- Since:
- 0.9.0
-
emitNoAppenderWarning
- Specified by:
emitNoAppenderWarningin interfaceLoggerRepository
-
exists
Check if the named logger exists in the hierarchy. If so return its reference, otherwise returnsnull.- Specified by:
existsin interfaceLoggerRepository- Parameters:
name- The name of the logger to search for.
-
setThreshold
The string form ofsetThreshold(Level).- Specified by:
setThresholdin interfaceLoggerRepository
-
setThreshold
Enable logging for logging requests with levellor higher. By default all levels are enabled.- Specified by:
setThresholdin interfaceLoggerRepository- Parameters:
l- The minimum level for which logging requests are sent to their appenders.
-
fireAddAppenderEvent
- Specified by:
fireAddAppenderEventin interfaceLoggerRepository
-
getThreshold
Returns aLevelrepresentation of theenablestate.- Specified by:
getThresholdin interfaceLoggerRepository- Since:
- 1.2
-
getLogger
Return a new logger instance named as the first parameter using the default factory.If a logger of that name already exists, then it will be returned. Otherwise, a new logger will be instantiated and then linked with its existing ancestors as well as children.
- Specified by:
getLoggerin interfaceLoggerRepository- Parameters:
name- The name of the logger to retrieve.
-
getLogger
Return a new logger instance named as the first parameter usingfactory.If a logger of that name already exists, then it will be returned. Otherwise, a new logger will be instantiated by the
factoryparameter and linked with its existing ancestors as well as children.- Specified by:
getLoggerin interfaceLoggerRepository- Parameters:
name- The name of the logger to retrieve.factory- The factory that will make the new logger instance.
-
getCurrentLoggers
Returns all the currently defined categories in this hierarchy as anEnumeration.The root logger is not included in the returned
Enumeration.- Specified by:
getCurrentLoggersin interfaceLoggerRepository
-
getCurrentCategories
Deprecated.Please usegetCurrentLoggers()instead.Description copied from interface:LoggerRepositoryDeprecated. Please useLoggerRepository.getCurrentLoggers()instead.- Specified by:
getCurrentCategoriesin interfaceLoggerRepository
-
getRendererMap
Get the renderer map for this hierarchy.- Specified by:
getRendererMapin interfaceRendererSupport
-
getRootLogger
Get the root of this hierarchy.- Specified by:
getRootLoggerin interfaceLoggerRepository- Since:
- 0.9.0
-
isDisabled
public boolean isDisabled(int level) This method will returntrueif this repository is disabled forlevelobject passed as parameter andfalseotherwise. See also thethresholdemthod.- Specified by:
isDisabledin interfaceLoggerRepository
-
overrideAsNeeded
Deprecated.Deprecated with no replacement. -
resetConfiguration
public void resetConfiguration()Reset all values contained in this hierarchy instance to their default. This removes all appenders from all categories, sets the level of all non-root categories tonull, sets their additivity flag totrueand sets the level of the root logger toDEBUG. Moreover, message disabling is set its default "off" value.Existing categories are not removed. They are just reset.
This method should be used sparingly and with care as it will block all logging until it is completed.
- Specified by:
resetConfigurationin interfaceLoggerRepository- Since:
- 0.8.5
-
setDisableOverride
Deprecated.Deprecated with no replacement.Does nothing. -
setRenderer
Used by subclasses to add a renderer to the hierarchy passed as parameter.- Specified by:
setRendererin interfaceRendererSupport
-
setThrowableRenderer
Set throwable renderer.- Specified by:
setThrowableRendererin interfaceThrowableRendererSupport- Parameters:
renderer- renderer, may be null.
-
getThrowableRenderer
Get throwable renderer.- Specified by:
getThrowableRendererin interfaceThrowableRendererSupport- Returns:
- throwable renderer, may be null.
-
shutdown
public void shutdown()Shutting down a hierarchy will safely close and remove all appenders in all categories including the root logger.Some appenders such as
SocketAppenderandAsyncAppenderneed to be closed before the application exists. Otherwise, pending logging events might be lost.The
shutdownmethod is careful to close nested appenders before closing regular appenders. This is allows configurations where a regular appender is attached to a logger and again to a nested appender.- Specified by:
shutdownin interfaceLoggerRepository- Since:
- 1.0
