Log4j Version 1.2.14: Class DOMConfigurator

org.apache.log4j.xml Class DOMConfigurator

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurator

public class DOMConfigurator

extends Object

implements Configurator

Use this class to initialize the log4j environment using a DOM tree.

The DTD is specified in log4j.dtd.

Sometimes it is useful to see how log4j is reading configuration files. You can enable log4j internal logging by defining the log4j.debug variable on the java command line. Alternatively, set the debug attribute in the log4j:configuration element. As in

<log4j:configuration debug="true" xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">
...
</log4j:configuration>

There are sample XML files included in the package.

0.8.3

protected Appender findAppenderByName(Document doc,
                                      String appenderName)

Used internally to parse appenders by IDREF name.

findAppenderByReference

protected Appender findAppenderByReference(Element appenderRef)

Used internally to parse appenders by IDREF element.

parseAppender

protected Appender parseAppender(Element appenderElement)

Used internally to parse an appender element.

parseErrorHandler

protected void parseErrorHandler(Element element,
                                 Appender appender)

Used internally to parse an ErrorHandler element.

parseFilters

protected void parseFilters(Element element,
                            Appender appender)

Used internally to parse a filter element.

parseCategory

protected void parseCategory(Element loggerElement)

Used internally to parse an category element.

parseCategoryFactory

protected void parseCategoryFactory(Element factoryElement)

Used internally to parse the category factory element.

parseRoot

protected void parseRoot(Element rootElement)

Used internally to parse the roor category element.

parseChildrenOfLoggerElement

protected void parseChildrenOfLoggerElement(Element catElement,
                                            Logger cat,
                                            boolean isRoot)

Used internally to parse the children of a category element.

parseLayout

protected Layout parseLayout(Element layout_element)

Used internally to parse a layout element.

parseRenderer

protected void parseRenderer(Element element)

parseLevel

protected void parseLevel(Element element,
                          Logger logger,
                          boolean isRoot)

Used internally to parse a level element.

setParameter

protected void setParameter(Element elem,
                            PropertySetter propSetter)

configure

public static void configure(Element element)

Configure log4j using a configuration element as defined in the log4j.dtd.

configureAndWatch

public static void configureAndWatch(String configFilename)

Like configureAndWatch(String, long) except that the default delay as defined by FileWatchdog.DEFAULT_DELAY is used.

Parameters:

configFilename - A log4j configuration file in XML format.

configureAndWatch

public static void configureAndWatch(String configFilename,
                                     long delay)

Read the configuration file configFilename if it exists. Moreover, a thread will be created that will periodically check if configFilename has been created or modified. The period is determined by the delay argument. If a change or file creation is detected, then configFilename is read to configure log4j.

Parameters:

configFilename - A log4j configuration file in XML format.

delay - The delay in milliseconds to wait between each check.

                        LoggerRepository repository)

Description copied from interface: Configurator
