Interface LoggerContextFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

Log4jContextFactory, SimpleLoggerContextFactory, SLF4JLoggerContextFactory

public interface LoggerContextFactory

Implemented by factories that create LoggerContext objects.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
LoggerContext	getContext(String fqcn, ClassLoader loader, Object externalContext, boolean currentContext)	Creates a LoggerContext.
LoggerContext	getContext(String fqcn, ClassLoader loader, Object externalContext, boolean currentContext, URI configLocation, String name)	Creates a LoggerContext.
default boolean	hasContext(String fqcn, ClassLoader loader, boolean currentContext)	Checks to see if a LoggerContext is installed.
default boolean	isClassLoaderDependent()	Determines whether or not this factory and perhaps the underlying ContextSelector behavior depend on the callers classloader.
void	removeContext(LoggerContext context)	Removes knowledge of a LoggerContext.
default void	shutdown(String fqcn, ClassLoader loader, boolean currentContext, boolean allContexts)	Shuts down the LoggerContext.

Method Detail

shutdown

default void shutdown(String fqcn,
                      ClassLoader loader,
                      boolean currentContext,
                      boolean allContexts)

Shuts down the LoggerContext.

Parameters:

fqcn - The fully qualified class name of the caller.

loader - The ClassLoader to use or null.

currentContext - If true shuts down the current Context, if false shuts down the Context appropriate for the caller if a more appropriate Context can be determined.

allContexts - if true all LoggerContexts that can be located will be shutdown.

Since:

2.13.0

hasContext

default boolean hasContext(String fqcn,
                           ClassLoader loader,
                           boolean currentContext)

Checks to see if a LoggerContext is installed. The default implementation returns false.

Parameters:

fqcn - The fully qualified class name of the caller.

loader - The ClassLoader to use or null.

currentContext - If true returns the current Context, if false returns the Context appropriate for the caller if a more appropriate Context can be determined.

Returns:

true if a LoggerContext has been installed, false otherwise.

Since:

2.13.0

getContext

LoggerContext getContext(String fqcn,
                         ClassLoader loader,
                         Object externalContext,
                         boolean currentContext)

Creates a LoggerContext.

Parameters:

fqcn - The fully qualified class name of the caller.

loader - The ClassLoader to use or null.

currentContext - If true returns the current Context, if false returns the Context appropriate for the caller if a more appropriate Context can be determined.

externalContext - An external context (such as a ServletContext) to be associated with the LoggerContext.

Returns:

The LoggerContext.

getContext

LoggerContext getContext(String fqcn,
                         ClassLoader loader,
                         Object externalContext,
                         boolean currentContext,
                         URI configLocation,
                         String name)

Creates a LoggerContext.

Parameters:

fqcn - The fully qualified class name of the caller.

loader - The ClassLoader to use or null.

currentContext - If true returns the current Context, if false returns the Context appropriate for the caller if a more appropriate Context can be determined.

configLocation - The location of the configuration for the LoggerContext.

externalContext - An external context (such as a ServletContext) to be associated with the LoggerContext.

name - The name of the context or null.

Returns:

The LoggerContext.

removeContext

void removeContext(LoggerContext context)

Removes knowledge of a LoggerContext.

Parameters:

context - The context to remove.

isClassLoaderDependent

default boolean isClassLoaderDependent()

Determines whether or not this factory and perhaps the underlying ContextSelector behavior depend on the callers classloader. This method should be overridden by implementations, however a default method is provided which always returns true to preserve the old behavior.

Since:

2.15.0
