How do I use Logger's MemoryHandler class?

Category: java.util.logging, viewed: 1332 time(s).

In this example we demo the use of Logger's MemoryHandler to log only when some conditions happen in our application, for example when a Level.SEVERE message is logged.

We create an instance of MemoryHandler that will delegate the log to FileHandler class and it logs the last 100 record until a Level.SEVERE message is logged.

package org.kodejava.example.util.logging;

import java.util.logging.Logger;
import java.util.logging.FileHandler;
import java.util.logging.MemoryHandler;
import java.util.logging.Level;

public class MemoryHandlerDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        MemoryHandlerDemo demo = new MemoryHandlerDemo();
        try {
            demo.testMethod();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public void testMethod() throws Exception {
        Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MemoryHandlerDemo.class.getName());
        FileHandler fileHandler = new FileHandler("myapp.log");

        //
        // Create a MemoryHandler that will dump the log messages for the 
        // latest 100 records when a Level.SEVERE log is logged to by the
        // Logger class.
        //
        MemoryHandler memoryHandler = new MemoryHandler(fileHandler, 100, Level.SEVERE);
        logger.addHandler(memoryHandler);

        //
        // Write some messages to the log
        //
        logger.info("Information message");
        logger.warning("Warning message");
		
		//
		// This causes the log messages dump to the file log.
		//
        logger.severe("Severe message");
    }
}

To check if the message is logged you can open the myapp.log file created by this small program.
