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

Constructor Summary

protected

ExtHandler() Construct a new instance.

Method Summary

void	addHandler(Handler handler) Add a sub-handler to this handler.
protected static void	checkAccess() Check access.
Handler[]	clearHandlers() A convenience method to atomically get and clear all sub-handlers.
protected void	doPublish(ExtLogRecord record) Do the actual work of publication; the record will have been filtered already.

boolean	isAutoFlush() Determine if this handler will auto-flush.
void	publish(ExtLogRecord record) Publish an ExtLogRecord.
void	publish(LogRecord record)
void	removeHandler(Handler handler) Remove a sub-handler from this handler.

Field Detail

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 Detail

ExtHandler

protected ExtHandler()

Construct a new instance.

Method Detail

publish

public final void publish(LogRecord record)

Specified by:

publish in class Handler

publish

public final 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

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)
                throws SecurityException

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

Parameters:

handler - the handler to add

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission(control)

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 - if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission(control)

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 - if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission(control)

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 - if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission(control)

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 - if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission(control)

checkAccess

protected static void checkAccess()
                           throws SecurityException

Check access.

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager is installed and the caller does not have the "control" LoggingPermission
