SocketHandler

Class Overview

A handler that writes log messages to a socket connection.

This handler reads the following properties from the log manager to initialize itself:

• java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level specifies the logging level, defaults to Level.ALL if this property is not found or has an invalid value;
• java.util.logging.SocketHandler.filter specifies the name of the filter class to be associated with this handler, defaults to null if this property is not found or has an invalid value;
• java.util.logging.SocketHandler.formatter specifies the name of the formatter class to be associated with this handler, defaults to java.util.logging.XMLFormatter if this property is not found or has an invalid value;
• java.util.logging.SocketHandler.encoding specifies the encoding this handler will use to encode log messages, defaults to null if this property is not found or has an invalid value.
• java.util.logging.SocketHandler.host specifies the name of the host that this handler should connect to. There's no default value for this property.
• java.util.logging.SocketHandler.encoding specifies the port number that this handler should connect to. There's no default value for this property.

This handler buffers the outgoing messages, but flushes each time a log record has been published.

This class is not thread-safe.

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Returns a new instance of the same class as the receiver, whose slots have been filled in with the values in the slots of the receiver. boolean equals(Object o) Compares the argument to the receiver, and returns true if they represent the same object using a class specific comparison. void finalize() Called by the virtual machine when there are no longer any (non-weak) references to the receiver. final Class<? extends Object> getClass() Returns the unique instance of java.lang.Class which represents the class of the receiver. int hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for the receiver. final void notify() Causes one thread which is wait ing on the receiver to be made ready to run. final void notifyAll() Causes all threads which are wait ing on the receiver to be made ready to run. String toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of the receiver. final void wait(long time, int frac) Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll) or the expiration of the timeout. final void wait(long time) Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll) or the expiration of the timeout. final void wait() Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll).
