public class StreamHandler extends Handler
Handler
. This is primarily intended as a base class or support class to be used in implementing other logging Handlers
.
LogRecords
are published to a given java.io.OutputStream
.
Configuration: By default each StreamHandler
is initialized using the following LogManager
configuration properties where <handler-name>
refers to the fully-qualified class name of the handler. If properties are not defined (or have invalid values) then the specified default values are used.
Handler
(defaults to Level.INFO
). Filter
class to use (defaults to no Filter
). Formatter
class to use (defaults to java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
). For example, the properties for StreamHandler
would be:
For a custom handler, e.g. com.foo.MyHandler, the properties would be:
Constructor | Description |
---|---|
StreamHandler() |
Create a StreamHandler , with no current output stream. |
StreamHandler |
Create a StreamHandler with a given Formatter and output stream. |
Modifier and Type | Method | Description |
---|---|---|
void |
close() |
Close the current output stream. |
void |
flush() |
Flush any buffered messages. |
boolean |
isLoggable |
Check if this Handler would actually log a given LogRecord . |
void |
publish |
Format and publish a LogRecord . |
void |
setEncoding |
Set (or change) the character encoding used by this Handler . |
protected void |
setOutputStream |
Change the output stream. |

public StreamHandler()
StreamHandler
, with no current output stream.public StreamHandler(OutputStream out, Formatter formatter)
StreamHandler
with a given Formatter
and output stream.out
- the target output streamformatter
- Formatter to be used to format outputprotected void setOutputStream(OutputStream out) throws SecurityException
If there is a current output stream then the Formatter
's tail string is written and the stream is flushed and closed. Then the output stream is replaced with the new output stream.
out
- New output stream. May not be null.SecurityException
- if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission("control")
.public void setEncoding(String encoding) throws SecurityException, UnsupportedEncodingException
Handler
. The encoding should be set before any LogRecords
are written to the Handler
.
setEncoding
in class Handler
encoding
- The name of a supported character encoding. May be null, to indicate the default platform encoding.SecurityException
- if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission("control")
.UnsupportedEncodingException
- if the named encoding is not supported.public void publish(LogRecord record)
LogRecord
. The StreamHandler
first checks if there is an OutputStream
and if the given LogRecord
has at least the required log level. If not it silently returns. If so, it calls any associated Filter
to check if the record should be published. If so, it calls its Formatter
to format the record and then writes the result to the current output stream.
If this is the first LogRecord
to be written to a given OutputStream
, the Formatter
's "head" string is written to the stream before the LogRecord
is written.
public boolean isLoggable(LogRecord record)
Handler
would actually log a given LogRecord
. This method checks if the LogRecord
has an appropriate level and whether it satisfies any Filter
. It will also return false if no output stream has been assigned yet or the LogRecord is null.

record
- a LogRecord
(may be null).LogRecord
would be logged.public void flush()
public void close() throws SecurityException
The Formatter
's "tail" string is written to the stream before it is closed. In addition, if the Formatter
's "head" string has not yet been written to the stream, it will be written before the "tail" string.

- if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission("control").
