Detailed Description

WARNING: This version of ODBCAppender is very likely to be completely replaced in the future. Moreoever, it does not log exceptions.

The ODBCAppender provides for sending log events to a database.

Each append call adds to an ArrayList buffer. When the buffer is filled each log event is placed in a sql statement (configurable) and executed.

BufferSize, db URL, User, & Password are configurable options in the standard log4j ways.

The setSql(String sql) sets the SQL statement to be used for logging – this statement is sent to a PatternLayout (either created automaticly by the appender or added by the user). Therefore by default all the conversion patterns in PatternLayout can be used inside of the statement. (see the test cases for examples)

Overriding the getLogStatement method allows more explicit control of the statement used for logging.

For use as a base class:

Override getConnection() to pass any connection you want. Typically this is used to enable application wide connection pooling.
Override closeConnection – if you override getConnection make sure to implement closeConnection to handle the connection you generated. Typically this would return the connection to the pool it came from.
Override getLogStatement to produce specialized or dynamic statements. The default uses the sql option value.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void activateOptions ( log4cxx::helpers::Pool & p )

virtual

Activate the specified options.

Reimplemented from AppenderSkeleton.

void append	(	const spi::LoggingEventPtr &	event,
		log4cxx::helpers::Pool &
	)

virtual

Adds the event to the buffer.

When full the buffer is flushed.

Implements AppenderSkeleton.

virtual void close ( )

virtual

Closes the appender, flushing the buffer first then closing the default connection if it is open.

Implements Appender.

virtual void closeConnection ( SQLHDBC con )

protectedvirtual

Override this to return the connection to a pool, or to clean up the resource.

The default behavior holds a single connection open until the appender is closed (typically when garbage collected).

virtual void execute	(	const LogString &	sql,
		log4cxx::helpers::Pool &	p
	)

protectedvirtual

Override this to provide an alertnate method of getting connections (such as caching).

One method to fix this is to open connections at the start of flushBuffer() and close them at the end. I use a connection pool outside of ODBCAppender which is accessed in an override of this method.

virtual void flushBuffer ( log4cxx::helpers::Pool & p )

virtual

loops through the buffer of LoggingEvents, gets a sql string from getLogStatement() and sends it to execute().

Errors are sent to the errorHandler.

If a statement fails the LoggingEvent stays in the buffer!

size_t getBufferSize ( ) const

inline

virtual SQLHDBC getConnection ( log4cxx::helpers::Pool & p )

protectedvirtual

Override this to link with your connection pooling system.

By default this creates a single connection which is held open until the object is garbage collected.

LogString getLogStatement	(	const spi::LoggingEventPtr &	event,
		helpers::Pool &	p
	)		const

protected

By default getLogStatement sends the event to the required Layout object.

The layout will format the given pattern into a workable SQL string.

Overriding this provides direct access to the LoggingEvent when constructing the logging statement.

const LogString& getPassword ( ) const

inline

const LogString& getSql ( ) const

inline

Returns pre-formated statement eg: insert into LogTable (msg) values ("%m")

const LogString& getURL ( ) const

inline

const LogString& getUser ( ) const

inline

virtual bool requiresLayout ( ) const

inlinevirtual

ODBCAppender requires a layout.

Implements Appender.

void setBufferSize ( size_t newBufferSize )

inline

virtual void setOption	(	const LogString &	option,
		const LogString &	value
	)

virtual

Set options.

Reimplemented from AppenderSkeleton.

void setPassword ( const LogString & password )

inline

void setSql ( const LogString & s )

Set pre-formated statement eg: insert into LogTable (msg) values ("%m")

void setURL ( const LogString & url )

inline

void setUser ( const LogString & user )

inline

Member Data Documentation

std::list<spi::LoggingEventPtr> buffer

protected

ArrayList holding the buffer of Logging Events.

size_t bufferSize

protected

size of LoggingEvent buffer before writing to the database.

Default is 1.

SQLHDBC connection

protected

Connection used by default.

The connection is opened the first time it is needed and then held open until the appender is closed (usually at garbage collection). This behavior is best modified by creating a sub-class and overriding the getConnection and closeConnection methods.

LogString databasePassword

protected

User to use for default connection handling.

LogString databaseURL

protected

URL of the DB for default connection handling.

LogString databaseUser

protected

User to connect as for default connection handling.

SQLHENV env

protected

LogString sqlStatement

protected

Stores the string given to the pattern layout for conversion into a SQL statement, eg: insert into LogTable (Thread, File, Message) values ("%t", "%F", "%m")

Be careful of quotes in your messages!
