extends ExtHandler

A queue handler which retains the last few messages logged. The handler can be used as-is to remember recent messages, or one or more handlers may be nested, which allows this handler to "replay" messages to the child handler(s) upon request.

limit - the queue length to use

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

getLimit

public int getLimit()

Get the queue length limit. This is the number of messages that will be saved before old messages roll off of the queue.

Returns:

the queue length limit

setLimit

public void setLimit(int limit)

Set the queue length limit. This is the number of messages that will be saved before old messages roll off of the queue.

Parameters:

limit - the queue length limit

getQueue

public ExtLogRecord[] getQueue()

Get a copy of the queue as it is at an exact moment in time.

Returns:

the copy of the queue

getQueueAsStrings

public String[] getQueueAsStrings()

Get a copy of the queue, rendering each record as a string.

Returns:

the copy of the queue rendered as strings

replay

public void replay()

Replay the stored queue to the nested handlers.
