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.

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.

exists
Check if the named logger exists in the hierarchy. If so return its reference, otherwise returnsnull
.- Specified by:
exists
in interfaceLoggerRepository
- Parameters:
name
- The name of the logger to search for.
-
setThreshold
The string form ofsetThreshold(Level)
.- Specified by:
setThreshold
in interfaceLoggerRepository
-
setThreshold
Enable logging for logging requests with levell
or higher. By default all levels are enabled.- Specified by:
setThreshold
in interfaceLoggerRepository
- Parameters:
l
- The minimum level for which logging requests are sent to their appenders.
-
fireAddAppenderEvent
- Specified by:
fireAddAppenderEvent
in interfaceLoggerRepository
-
getThreshold
Returns aLevel
representation of theenable
state.- Specified by:
getThreshold
in 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:
getLogger
in 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
factory
parameter and linked with its existing ancestors as well as children.- Specified by:
getLogger
in 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:
getCurrentLoggers
in interfaceLoggerRepository
-
getCurrentCategories
Deprecated.Please usegetCurrentLoggers()
instead.Description copied from interface:LoggerRepository
Deprecated. Please useLoggerRepository.getCurrentLoggers()
instead.- Specified by:

-
getRendererMap
Get the renderer map for this hierarchy.- Specified by:
getRendererMap
in interfaceRendererSupport
-
getRootLogger
Get the root of this hierarchy.- Specified by:
getRootLogger
in interfaceLoggerRepository
- Since:
- 0.9.0
-
isDisabled
public boolean isDisabled(int level) This method will returntrue
if this repository is disabled forlevel
object passed as parameter andfalse
otherwise. See also thethreshold
emthod.- Specified by:
isDisabled
in 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 totrue
and 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:
resetConfiguration
in 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:
setRenderer
in interfaceRendererSupport
-
setThrowableRenderer
Set throwable renderer.- Specified by:
setThrowableRenderer
in interfaceThrowableRendererSupport
- Parameters:
renderer
- renderer, may be null.
-
getThrowableRenderer
Get throwable renderer.- Specified by:
getThrowableRenderer
in 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
SocketAppender
andAsyncAppender
need to be closed before the application exists. Otherwise, pending logging events might be lost.The
shutdown
method 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:
shutdown
in interfaceLoggerRepository

- 1.0
