Class LogFile

java.lang.Object
  java.io.OutputStream
      ccs.utils.LogFile

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable, java.io.Flushable

Deprecated. Java now provides a standard logging API; use that instead.

public class LogFile
extends java.io.OutputStream

Reroute System.out and System.err to a log file. Useful for systems which aren't running under a console (e.g. from a GUI-based bootstrap) which may generate error-messages which you need to trap for debugging / fault finding etc.

Update: This code has rotted - I don't think it ever worked properly. Probably best avoided pending review.

Method Summary

static void	reroute(java.io.File f, boolean isLog) Deprecated. Reroute system output streams to a file.
static void	setLog(boolean value) Deprecated. Set whether to actually send incoming messages to the log file, or to just swallow them.
void	write(byte[] b) Deprecated. Writes b.length bytes from the specified byte array to this output stream.
void	write(byte[] b, int off, int len) Deprecated. Writes len bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset off to this output stream.
void	write(int b) Deprecated. Writes the specified byte to the logfile or swallows it.

Method Detail

reroute

public static void reroute(java.io.File f,
                           boolean isLog)

Deprecated.

Reroute system output streams to a file.

Parameters:

f - the File to reroute to. If null, the output is swallowed.

isLog - whether to record output: if false, output is swallowed.

setLog

public static void setLog(boolean value)

Deprecated.

Set whether to actually send incoming messages to the log file, or to just swallow them.

Parameters:

value - true to log, false to swallow.

write

public void write(int b)
           throws java.io.IOException

Deprecated.

Writes the specified byte to the logfile or swallows it.

Specified by:

write in class java.io.OutputStream

Parameters:

b - the byte.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

write

public void write(byte[] b)
           throws java.io.IOException

Deprecated.

Writes b.length bytes from the specified byte array to this output stream.

Overrides:

write in class java.io.OutputStream

Parameters:

b - the data.

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

write

public void write(byte[] b,
                  int off,
                  int len)
           throws java.io.IOException

Deprecated.

Writes len bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset off to this output stream.

Overrides:

write in class java.io.OutputStream

Parameters:

b - the data.

off - the start offset in the data.

len - the number of bytes to write.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
