Interface LoggerRepository

All Known Implementing Classes:

Hierarchy, NOPLoggerRepository

public interface LoggerRepository

A LoggerRepository is used to create and retrieve Loggers. The relation between loggers in a repository depends on the repository but typically loggers are arranged in a named hierarchy.

In addition to the creational methods, a LoggerRepository can be queried for existing loggers, can act as a point of registry for events related to loggers.

Method Detail

addHierarchyEventListener

void addHierarchyEventListener(HierarchyEventListener listener)

Add a HierarchyEventListener event to the repository.

isDisabled

boolean isDisabled(int level)

Returns whether this repository is disabled for a given level. The answer depends on the repository threshold and the level parameter. See also setThreshold(org.apache.log4j.Level) method.

setThreshold

void setThreshold(Level level)

Set the repository-wide threshold. All logging requests below the threshold are immediately dropped. By default, the threshold is set to Level.ALL which has the lowest possible rank.

setThreshold

void setThreshold(java.lang.String val)

Another form of setThreshold(Level) accepting a string parameter instead of a Level.

emitNoAppenderWarning

void emitNoAppenderWarning(Category cat)

getThreshold

Level getThreshold()

Get the repository-wide threshold. See setThreshold(Level) for an explanation.

getLogger

Logger getLogger(java.lang.String name)

getLogger

Logger getLogger(java.lang.String name,
               LoggerFactory factory)

getRootLogger

Logger getRootLogger()

exists

Logger exists(java.lang.String name)

shutdown

void shutdown()

getCurrentLoggers

java.util.Enumeration getCurrentLoggers()

getCurrentCategories

java.util.Enumeration getCurrentCategories()

Deprecated. Please use getCurrentLoggers() instead.

fireAddAppenderEvent

void fireAddAppenderEvent(Category logger,
                        Appender appender)

resetConfiguration

void resetConfiguration()
