public class LogFactoryImpl
extends LogFactory

Concrete subclass of LogFactory that implements the following algorithm to dynamically select a logging implementation class to instantiate a wrapper for.

If the selected Log implementation class has a setLogFactory() method that accepts a LogFactory parameter, this method will be called on each newly created instance to identify the associated factory. This makes factory configuration attributes available to the Log instance, if it so desires.

This factory will remember previously created Log instances for the same name, and will return them on repeated requests to the getInstance() method. This implementation ignores any configured attributes.

attributes

protected Hashtable attributes
Configuration attributes


instances

protected Hashtable instances
The Log instances that have already been created, keyed by logger name.


logConstructor

protected Constructor logConstructor
The one-argument constructor of the Log implementation class that will be used to create new instances. This value is initialized by getLogConstructor(), and then returned repeatedly.


logConstructorSignature

protected Class[] logConstructorSignature
The signature of the Constructor to be used.


logMethod

protected Method logMethod
The one-argument setLogFactory method of the selected Log method, if it exists.


logMethodSignature

protected Class[] logMethodSignature
The signature of the setLogFactory method to be used.

Constructor Detail

LogFactoryImpl

public LogFactoryImpl()
Public no-arguments constructor required by the lookup mechanism.

Method Detail

getAttribute

public Object getAttribute(String name)
Return the configuration attribute with the specified name (if any), or null if there is no such attribute.

Specified by:
getAttribute in class LogFactory
Parameters:
name - Name of the attribute to return

getAttributeNames

public String[] getAttributeNames()
Return an array containing the names of all currently defined configuration attributes. If there are no such attributes, a zero length array is returned.

Specified by:
getAttributeNames in class LogFactory

getInstance

public Log getInstance(Class clazz)
                throws LogConfigurationException
Convenience method to derive a name from the specified class and call getInstance(String) with it.

Specified by:
getInstance in class LogFactory
Parameters:
clazz - Class for which a suitable Log name will be derived
Throws:
LogConfigurationException - if a suitable Log instance cannot be returned

getInstance

public Log getInstance(String name)
                throws LogConfigurationException

Construct (if necessary) and return a Log instance, using the factory's current set of configuration attributes.

NOTE - Depending upon the implementation of the LogFactory you are using, the Log instance you are returned may or may not be local to the current application, and may or may not be returned again on a subsequent call with the same name argument.

Specified by:
getInstance in class LogFactory
Parameters:
name - Logical name of the Log instance to be returned (the meaning of this name is only known to the underlying logging implementation that is being wrapped)
Throws:
LogConfigurationException - if a suitable Log instance cannot be returned

release

public void release()
Release any internal references to previously created Log instances returned by this factory. This is useful environments like servlet containers, which implement application reloading by throwing away a ClassLoader. Dangling references to objects in that class loader would prevent garbage collection.

Specified by:
release in class LogFactory

removeAttribute

public void removeAttribute(String name)
Remove any configuration attribute associated with the specified name. If there is no such attribute, no action is taken.

Specified by:
removeAttribute in class LogFactory
Parameters:
name - Name of the attribute to remove

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(String name,
                         Object value)
Set the configuration attribute with the specified name. Calling this with a null value is equivalent to calling removeAttribute(name).

Specified by:
setAttribute in class LogFactory
Parameters:
name - Name of the attribute to set
value - Value of the attribute to set, or null to remove any setting for this attribute

getLogClassName

protected String getLogClassName()
Return the fully qualified Java classname of the Log implementation we will be using.


getLogConstructor

protected Constructor getLogConstructor()
                                 throws LogConfigurationException

Return the Constructor that can be called to instantiate new Log instances.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE - Race conditions caused by calling this method from more than one thread are ignored, because the same Constructor instance will ultimately be derived in all circumstances.

Throws:
LogConfigurationException - if a suitable constructor cannot be returned

isJdk14Available

protected boolean isJdk14Available()
Is JDK 1.4 or later logging available?


isLog4JAvailable

protected boolean isLog4JAvailable()
Is a Log4J implementation available?


newInstance

protected Log newInstance(String name)
                   throws LogConfigurationException
Create and return a new Log instance for the specified name.

Parameters:
name - Name of the new logger
Throws:
LogConfigurationException - if a new instance cannot be created
