Class LogListener

java.lang.Object

net.pwall.log.LogListener

All Implemented Interfaces:

AutoCloseable

Direct Known Subclasses:

LogList

public abstract class LogListener
extends Object
implements AutoCloseable

The LogListener class is the base class for an object that is called for every log event. It is intended to be used only in unit tests.
The constructor adds the object to a static list of listeners; the Logger classes will check for the presence of listeners and invoke them as required.

Constructor Detail

LogListener

public LogListener()

Construct a LogListener - add the listener to the list of listeners.

Method Detail

close

public void close()

Close the listener - remove it from the list.
This operation is idempotent - closing a listener that is already closed has no effect.

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

receive

public abstract void receive(long time,
                             net.pwall.log.Logger logger,
                             net.pwall.log.Level level,
                             Object message,
                             Throwable throwable)

Receive a log event.

Parameters:

time - the time of the event in milliseconds

logger - the logger object

level - the logging level

message - the message

throwable - a Throwable, if provided

add

public static void add(LogListener listener)

Add a listener to the list.

Parameters:

listener - the listener

remove

public static void remove(LogListener listener)

Remove a listener from the list.

Parameters:

listener - the listener

present

public static boolean present()

Test whether listeners are present.

Returns:

true if listeners are present

invokeAll

public static void invokeAll(long time,
                             net.pwall.log.Logger logger,
                             net.pwall.log.Level level,
                             Object message,
                             Throwable throwable)

Invoke all listeners. For reasons of efficiency, this should be called only after present() has returned true.

Parameters:

time - the time of the log in milliseconds

logger - the originating Logger

level - the level

message - the log message

throwable - the Throwable, if present
