Enum LoggerType

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<LoggerType>

flux.logging.LoggerType

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<LoggerType>

public enum LoggerType
extends java.lang.Enum<LoggerType>

An enumeration of the kinds of loggers that are supported. Supported loggers include an internal asynchronous logger (LoggerType.INTERNAL_ASYNCHRONOUS), an internal synchronous logger (LoggerType.INTERNAL_SYNCHRONOUS), Log4j (LoggerType.LOG4J), the logging built into JDK 1.4 and higher (LoggerType.JDK), a simple logger that prints stack traces to standard error (LoggerType.STANDARD_ERROR), Apache Jakarta Commons Logging logger (LoggerType.COMMONS_LOGGING), and a null logger that does nothing (LoggerType.NULL).

Enum Constant Detail

COMMONS_LOGGING

public static final LoggerType COMMONS_LOGGING

Uses the Apache Jakarta Commons Logging logger.

INTERNAL_ASYNCHRONOUS

public static final LoggerType INTERNAL_ASYNCHRONOUS

Uses an internal logger that logs information to the Flux database. Logging operations are stored asynchronously to the database using a different database connection from the database connection used by the Flux operation that is being executed. This technique increases throughput while still recording information that may be rolled back in the database connection used by the Flux operation.

When this logger is used, the Flux logs at the SEVERE and WARNING logging levels only are stored in the database. However, the complete Flux logs, down to the FINEST logging level, are also stored in rotating log files on the file system asynchronously. The active log file name is "flux-<engine name>.log", where "<engine name>" is the name of the engine that generated the log. The name of an engine is found in the engine's configuration under the configuration property NAME.

Six daily log file rotations are stored using file names patterned after "flux-<engine name>-<date>.log", where "<date>" is in the form "day-month-year". The three letter month is written using the localized month name.

Also when this logger is used, all the Flux audit trail entries are stored in the database in their entirety.

Level.SEVERE, Level.WARNING, Configuration.ID_NAME

INTERNAL_SYNCHRONOUS

public static final LoggerType INTERNAL_SYNCHRONOUS

Uses an internal logger that logs information to the Flux database. Logging operations are stored synchronously to the database using the same database connection as used by the Flux operation that is being executed. This technique records information only if it is committed by the database connection used by the Flux operation.

When this logger is used, the Flux logs at the SEVERE and WARNING logging levels only are stored in the database. However, the complete Flux logs, down to the FINEST logging level, are also stored in rotating log files on the file system asynchronously. The active log file name is "flux-<engine name>.log", where "<engine name>" is the name of the engine that generated the log. The name of an engine is found in the engine's configuration under the configuration property NAME.

Six daily log file rotations are stored using file names patterned after "flux-<engine name>-<date>.log", where "<date>" is in the form "day-month-year". The three letter month is written using the localized month name.

Also when this logger is used, all the Flux audit trail entries are stored in the database in their entirety.

JDK

public static final LoggerType JDK

Uses the JDK 1.4+ logger.

LOG4J

public static final LoggerType LOG4J

Uses the Log4j logger.

NULL

public static final LoggerType NULL

Performs no logging.

STANDARD_ERROR

public static final LoggerType STANDARD_ERROR

Logs stack traces and errors at the WARNING and SEVERE logging levels only.

Method Detail

values

public static LoggerType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (LoggerType c : LoggerType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static LoggerType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
