Class ErrorManager

java.lang.Object
  java.util.logging.ErrorManager

Direct Known Subclasses:

FileHandler.InitializationErrorManager

public class ErrorManager

extends Object

ErrorManager objects can be attached to Handlers to process any error that occur on a Handler during Logging.

When processing logging output, if a Handler encounters problems then rather than throwing an Exception back to the issuer of the the logging call (who is unlikely to be interested) the Handler should call its associated ErrorManager.

Field Summary

static int	CLOSE_FAILURE CLOSE_FAILURE is used when a close of an output stream fails.
static int	FLUSH_FAILURE FLUSH_FAILURE is used when a flush to an output stream fails.
static int	FORMAT_FAILURE FORMAT_FAILURE is used when formatting fails for any reason.
static int	GENERIC_FAILURE GENERIC_FAILURE is used for failure that don't fit into one of the other catgories.
static int	OPEN_FAILURE OPEN_FAILURE is used when an open of an output stream fails.
private boolean	reported
static int	WRITE_FAILURE WRITE_FAILURE is used when a write to an output stream fails.

Method Detail

error

public void error(String msg,
                  Exception ex,
                  int code)

The error method is called when a Handler failure occurs.

This method may be overriden in subclasses. The default behavior in this base class is that the first call is reported to System.err, and subsequent calls are ignored.

Parameters:

msg - a descriptive string (may be null)

ex - an exception (may be null)

code - an error code defined in ErrorManager
