public class Logger
extends org.apache.logging.log4j.spi.AbstractLogger

The core implementation of the Logger interface. Besides providing an implementation of all the Logger methods, this class also provides some convenience methods for Log4j 1.x compatibility as well as access to the Filters and Appenders associated with this Logger. Note that access to these underlying objects is provided primarily for use in unit tests or bridging legacy Log4j 1.x code. Future versions of this class may or may not include the various methods that are noted as not being part of the public API. TODO All the isEnabled methods could be pushed into a filter interface. Not sure of the utility of having isEnabled be able to examine the message pattern and parameters. (RG) Moving the isEnabled methods out of Logger noticeably impacts performance. The message pattern and parameters are required so that they can be used in global filters.

addAppender

public void addAppender(Appender appender)

This method is not exposed through the public API and is used primarily for unit testing.

Parameters:

appender - The Appender to add to the Logger.

removeAppender

public void removeAppender(Appender appender)

This method is not exposed through the public API and is used primarily for unit testing.

Parameters:

appender - The Appender to remove from the Logger.

getAppenders

public Map<String,Appender> getAppenders()

This method is not exposed through the public API and is used primarily for unit testing.

Returns:

A Map containing the Appender's name as the key and the Appender as the value.

getFilters

public Iterator<Filter> getFilters()

This method is not exposed through the public API and is used primarily for unit testing.

Returns:

An Iterator over all the Filters associated with the Logger.

getLevel

public org.apache.logging.log4j.Level getLevel()

Gets the Level associated with the Logger.

Returns:

filterCount

public int filterCount()

This method is not exposed through the public API and is used primarily for unit testing.

Returns:

The number of Filters associated with the Logger.

addFilter

public void addFilter(Filter filter)

This method is not exposed through the public API and is used primarily for unit testing.

Parameters:

filter - The Filter to add.

isAdditive

public boolean isAdditive()

This method is not exposed through the public API and is present only to support the Log4j 1.2 compatibility bridge.

Returns:

true if the associated LoggerConfig is additive, false otherwise.

setAdditive

public void setAdditive(boolean additive)

This method is not exposed through the public API and is present only to support the Log4j 1.2 compatibility bridge.

Parameters:

additive - Boolean value to indicate whether the Logger is additive or not.

updateConfiguration

protected void updateConfiguration(Configuration newConfig)

Associates the Logger with a new Configuration. This method is not exposed through the public API. There are two ways that could be used to guarantee all threads are aware of changes to config. 1. synchronize this method. Accessors don't need to be synchronized as Java will treat all variables within a synchronized block as volatile. 2. Declare the variable volatile. Option 2 is used here as the performance cost is very low and it does a better job at documenting how it is used.

Parameters:

newConfig - The new Configuration.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a String representation of this instance in the form "name:level[ in context_name]".

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

A String describing this Logger instance.
