Logger

Description

TraceLogger logs messages using trace.

The actual logging is always made using trace. No other output devices are supported. Use the SimpleLogger to be able to add log handlers as you please which allows you to log to every device you want.

The basic methods to write the log messages are log, debug, info, warning and fatal.

The first thing to note is that you can log messages at different levels. These levels are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR and FATAL. Depending on what level has been set only messages at a given level are logged. The levels are organized in a hierarchical manner. That means if you set the log level to ALL every messages is logged. If you set it to ERROR only messages at ERROR and FATAL level are logged and so on.

To do not waste unnecessary performance in constructing log messages that are not logged you can use the isDebugEnabled, isInfoEnabled, isWarningEnabled, isErrorEnabled and isFatalEnabled methods.

Note that the message does in neither case have to be a string. That means you can pass-in messages and let the actual handler or logger decide how to produce a string representation of the message. That is in most cases done by using the toString method of the specific message. You can use this method to do not lose performance in cases where the message is not logged.

Example: var logger:TraceLogger = new TraceLogger("myTraceLogger"); // checks if the output gets actually made if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) { // log the message at the info level logger.info("This is a informative log message."); }

This logger cannot be used with the because it does not offer hierarchy support. If you want to use your logger in a hierarchy use the SimpleHierarchicalLogger instead.

Constructor Detail

TraceLogger

public function TraceLogger(name:String)

Constructs a new TraceLogger instance.

The default log level is ALL. This means all messages regardless of their level are logged.

The name is by default shown in the log message to identify where the message came from.

Parameters

name(optional) the name of this logger

Method Detail

getName

public function getName(Void):String

Returns the name of this logger.

This method returns null if no name has been set via the setName method nor on construction.

Return

the name of this logger

setName

public function setName(name:String):Void

Sets the name of this logger.

The name is by default shown in the log message.

Parameters

namethe new name of this logger

setLevel

public function setLevel(level:LogLevel):Void

Sets the log level.

The log level determines which messages are logged and which are not.

A level of value null or undefined is interpreted as level ALL which is also the default level.

Parameters

levelthe new log level

getLevel

public function getLevel(Void):LogLevel

Returns the set level.

Return

the set level

isEnabled

public function isEnabled(level:LogLevel):Boolean

Checks whether this logger is enabled for the passed-in level.

false will be returned if:

  • This logger is not enabled for the passed-in level.
  • The passed-in level is null or undefined.

Using this method as shown in the class documentation may improve performance depending on how long the log message construction takes.

Parameters

levelthe level to make the check upon

Return

true if this logger is enabled for the given level else false

isDebugEnabled

public function isDebugEnabled(Void):Boolean

Checks if this logger is enabled for debug level log messages.

Using this method as shown in the class documentation may improve performance depending on how long the log message construction takes.

Return

true if debug messages are logged

Specified By

isDebugEnabled() in org.as2lib.env.log.Logger

isInfoEnabled

public function isInfoEnabled(Void):Boolean

Checks if this logger is enabled for info level log messages.

Using this method as shown in the class documentation may improve performance depending on how long the log message construction takes.

Return

true if info messages are logged

Specified By

isInfoEnabled() in org.as2lib.env.log.Logger

isWarningEnabled

public function isWarningEnabled(Void):Boolean

Checks if this logger is enabled for warning level log messages.

Using this method as shown in the class documentation may improve performance depending on how long the log message construction takes.

Return

true if warning messages are logged

Specified By

isWarningEnabled() in org.as2lib.env.log.Logger

isErrorEnabled

public function isErrorEnabled(Void):Boolean

Checks if this logger is enabled for error level log messages.

Using this method as shown in the class documentation may improve performance depending on how long the log message construction takes.

Return

true if error messages are logged

Specified By

isErrorEnabled() in org.as2lib.env.log.Logger

isFatalEnabled

public function isFatalEnabled(Void):Boolean

Checks if this logger is enabled for fatal level log messages.

Using this method as shown in the class documentation may improve performance depending on how long the log message construction takes.

Return

true if fatal messages are logged

Specified By

isFatalEnabled() in org.as2lib.env.log.Logger

log

public function log(message, level:LogLevel):Void

Logs the passed-in message at the given level.

The message is only logged when this logger is enabled for the passed-in level.

The message is always logged using trace.

Parameters

messagethe message object to log

debug

public function debug(message):Void

Logs the passed-in message at debug level.
