LogRecord (Java Platform SE 8 ) (original) (raw)

java.lang.Object
- java.util.logging.LogRecord
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public class LogRecord
extends Object
implements Serializable
LogRecord objects are used to pass logging requests between the logging framework and individual log Handlers.
When a LogRecord is passed into the logging framework it logically belongs to the framework and should no longer be used or updated by the client application.
Note that if the client application has not specified an explicit source method name and source class name, then the LogRecord class will infer them automatically when they are first accessed (due to a call on getSourceMethodName or getSourceClassName) by analyzing the call stack. Therefore, if a logging Handler wants to pass off a LogRecord to another thread, or to transmit it over RMI, and if it wishes to subsequently obtain method name or class name information it should call one of getSourceClassName or getSourceMethodName to force the values to be filled in.
Serialization notes:

The LogRecord class is serializable.
Because objects in the parameters array may not be serializable, during serialization all objects in the parameters array are written as the corresponding Strings (using Object.toString).
The ResourceBundle is not transmitted as part of the serialized form, but the resource bundle name is, and the recipient object's readObject method will attempt to locate a suitable resource bundle.
Since:
1.4

Constructor Detail

 * #### LogRecord  
 public LogRecord([Level](../../../java/util/logging/Level.html "class in java.util.logging") level,  
                  [String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") msg)  
 Construct a LogRecord with the given level and message values.  
  The sequence property will be initialized with a new unique value. These sequence values are allocated in increasing order within a VM.  
  The millis property will be initialized to the current time.  
  The thread ID property will be initialized with a unique ID for the current thread.  
  All other properties will be initialized to "null".  
 Parameters:  
 `level` \- a logging level value  
 `msg` \- the raw non-localized logging message (may be null)

Method Detail

Set the source Logger's name.  
Parameters:  
`name` \- the source logger name (may be null)  
* #### getResourceBundle  
public [ResourceBundle](../../../java/util/ResourceBundle.html "class in java.util") getResourceBundle()  
Get the localization resource bundle  
 This is the ResourceBundle that should be used to localize the message string before formatting it. The result may be null if the message is not localizable, or if no suitable ResourceBundle is available.  
Returns:  
the localization resource bundle  
* #### setResourceBundle  
public void setResourceBundle([ResourceBundle](../../../java/util/ResourceBundle.html "class in java.util") bundle)  
Set the localization resource bundle.  
Parameters:  
`bundle` \- localization bundle (may be null)  
* #### getResourceBundleName  
public [String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") getResourceBundleName()  
Get the localization resource bundle name  
 This is the name for the ResourceBundle that should be used to localize the message string before formatting it. The result may be null if the message is not localizable.  
Returns:  
the localization resource bundle name  
* #### setResourceBundleName  
public void setResourceBundleName([String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") name)  
Set the localization resource bundle name.  
Parameters:  
`name` \- localization bundle name (may be null)  
* #### getLevel  
public [Level](../../../java/util/logging/Level.html "class in java.util.logging") getLevel()  
Get the logging message level, for example Level.SEVERE.

public void setLevel([Level](../../../java/util/logging/Level.html "class in java.util.logging") level)  
Set the logging message level, for example Level.SEVERE.  
Parameters:  
`level` \- the logging message level  
* #### getSequenceNumber  
public long getSequenceNumber()  
Get the sequence number.  
 Sequence numbers are normally assigned in the LogRecord constructor, which assigns unique sequence numbers to each new LogRecord in increasing order.  
Returns:  
the sequence number  
* #### setSequenceNumber  
public void setSequenceNumber(long seq)  
Set the sequence number.  
 Sequence numbers are normally assigned in the LogRecord constructor, so it should not normally be necessary to use this method.  
Parameters:  
`seq` \- the sequence number  
* #### getSourceClassName  
public [String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") getSourceClassName()  
Get the name of the class that (allegedly) issued the logging request.  
 Note that this sourceClassName is not verified and may be spoofed. This information may either have been provided as part of the logging call, or it may have been inferred automatically by the logging framework. In the latter case, the information may only be approximate and may in fact describe an earlier call on the stack frame.  
 May be null if no information could be obtained.  
Returns:  
the source class name  
* #### setSourceClassName  
public void setSourceClassName([String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") sourceClassName)  
Set the name of the class that (allegedly) issued the logging request.  
Parameters:  
`sourceClassName` \- the source class name (may be null)  
* #### getSourceMethodName  
public [String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") getSourceMethodName()  
Get the name of the method that (allegedly) issued the logging request.  
 Note that this sourceMethodName is not verified and may be spoofed. This information may either have been provided as part of the logging call, or it may have been inferred automatically by the logging framework. In the latter case, the information may only be approximate and may in fact describe an earlier call on the stack frame.  
 May be null if no information could be obtained.  
Returns:  
the source method name  
* #### setSourceMethodName  
public void setSourceMethodName([String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") sourceMethodName)  
Set the name of the method that (allegedly) issued the logging request.  
Parameters:  
`sourceMethodName` \- the source method name (may be null)  
* #### getMessage  
public [String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") getMessage()  
Get the "raw" log message, before localization or formatting.  
 May be null, which is equivalent to the empty string "".  
 This message may be either the final text or a localization key.  
 During formatting, if the source logger has a localization ResourceBundle and if that ResourceBundle has an entry for this message string, then the message string is replaced with the localized value.  
Returns:  
the raw message string  
* #### setMessage  
public void setMessage([String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") message)
