All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class LogWriter
extends Object
implements Serializable

This class provides standard methods for reporting various categories of information to aid in debugging. No static methods should be added to this class, since that makes it much more difficult to promote it to an interface, if this becomes desireable in the future.

Supported API: true

setLogFile

public void setLogFile(String name,
                       boolean append,
                       boolean tee,
                       int iterations,
                       String date_format,
                       boolean add_thread,
                       boolean verbose,
                       String severity,
                       String system_debug)

Sets the log file output parameters. If this object is already pointing to a log file, it will be redirected based on the parameters. If the file name passed is the same as log file already pointed to, none of the parameters will be changed.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

name - the name of the log file, including full directory specification.

append - if true, opens the log file in append mode.

tee - if true, will also send all output to standard output

iterations - if a value greater than zero is passed, will iterate file name up to the number specified. (e.g. file1, file2, file3...)

date_format - if a date format is passed, it will be used in prefixing each line with a time stamp; if nothing is provided, the lines will not be prefixed with a time stamp.

add_thread - if true, each output line will include the name of the thread being executed.

verbose - if true, will use the most verbose option for info reporting, but may only apply to certain method.
