Member Function Documentation

virtual void log4cplus::Appender::close (  )  [pure virtual]

Release any resources allocated within the appender such as file handles, network connections, etc.

It is a programming error to append to a closed appender.

virtual log4cplus::tstring log4cplus::Appender::getName (  )  [virtual]

Get the name of this appender.

The name uniquely identifies the appender.

virtual void log4cplus::Appender::setName ( const log4cplus::tstring name  )  [virtual]

Set the name of this appender.

The name is used by other components to identify this appender.

virtual void log4cplus::Appender::setLayout ( OFauto_ptr< Layout layout  )  [virtual]

Set the layout for this appender.

Note that some appenders have their own (fixed) layouts or do not use one. For example, the SocketAppender ignores the layout set here.

virtual Layout* log4cplus::Appender::getLayout (  )  [virtual]

Returns the layout of this appender.

The value may be NULL.

This class owns the returned pointer.

LogLevel log4cplus::Appender::getThreshold (  )  const [inline]

Returns this appenders threshold LogLevel.

See the setThreshold method for the meaning of this option.

Definition at line 155 of file appender.h.

void log4cplus::Appender::setThreshold ( LogLevel  th  )  [inline]

Set the threshold LogLevel.

All log events with lower LogLevel than the threshold LogLevel are ignored by the appender.

In configuration files this option is specified by setting the value of the Threshold option to a LogLevel string, such as "DEBUG", "INFO" and so on.

Definition at line 165 of file appender.h.

bool log4cplus::Appender::isAsSevereAsThreshold ( LogLevel  ll  )  const [inline]

Check whether the message LogLevel is below the appender's threshold.

If there is no threshold set, then the return value is always true.

Definition at line 172 of file appender.h.

References log4cplus::NOT_SET_LOG_LEVEL.

virtual void log4cplus::Appender::append ( const log4cplus::spi::InternalLoggingEvent event  )  [protected, pure virtual]

Subclasses of Appender should implement this method to perform actual logging.

See also:
doAppend method.


Member Data Documentation

log4cplus::spi::FilterPtr log4cplus::Appender::filter [protected]

The first filter in the filter chain.

Set to null initially.
