Class DeferredLogHandler

java.lang.Object
  java.util.logging.Handler
      org.springframework.shell.support.logging.DeferredLogHandler

public class DeferredLogHandler
extends Handler

Defers the publication of JDK LogRecord instances until a target Handler is registered.

This class is useful if a target Handler cannot be instantiated before LogRecord instances are being published. This may be the case if the target Handler requires the establishment of complex publication infrastructure such as a GUI, message queue, IoC container and the establishment of that infrastructure may produce log messages that should ultimately be delivered to the target Handler.

In recognition that sometimes the target Handler may never be registered (perhaps due to failures configuring its supporting infrastructure), this class supports a fallback mode. When in fallback mode, a fallback Handler will receive all previous and future LogRecord instances. Fallback mode is automatically triggered if a LogRecord is published at the fallback Level. Fallback mode is also triggered if the flush() or close() method is involved and the target Handler has never been registered.

1.0
