public interface Thresholdable

An interface that defines the required methods for supporting the setting and getting of a level threshold. Components should implement this interface if logging events they process should meet a certain threshold before being processed further. Examples of this are Appenders and Receivers which will not process logging events unless the event level is at or greater than a set threshold level.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
org.apache.log4j.Level	getThreshold() Gets the current threshold setting of the component.
boolean	isAsSevereAsThreshold(org.apache.log4j.Level level) Returns true if the given level is equals or greater than the current threshold value of the component.
void	setThreshold(org.apache.log4j.Level level) Sets the component theshold to the given level.

Method Detail

setThreshold

void setThreshold(org.apache.log4j.Level level)

Sets the component theshold to the given level.

Parameters:

level - The threshold level events must equal or be greater than before further processing can be done.

getThreshold

org.apache.log4j.Level getThreshold()

Gets the current threshold setting of the component.

Returns:

Level The current threshold level of the component.

isAsSevereAsThreshold

boolean isAsSevereAsThreshold(org.apache.log4j.Level level)

Returns true if the given level is equals or greater than the current threshold value of the component.

Parameters:

level - The level to test against the component threshold.

Returns:

boolean True if level is equal or greater than the component threshold.
