Field Summary

protected static Log

singleton Provides the class variable for the Singleton pattern, to keep track of the one and only instance of this class.

Constructor Summary

protected

SecurityLog() Protect the default constructor, this class uses a Singleton pattern.

Method Summary

static void	criticalError(java.lang.String logString) Logs a text string at CRITICAL_ERROR_LEVEL This method provides the implementation for a quick accessor to log a critical error, replacing typical calls to System.err.println().
static void	detail(java.lang.String logString) Logs a text string at DETAIL_LEVEL
static void	error(java.lang.String logString) Logs a text string at ERROR_LEVEL This method provides the implementation for a quick accessor to log a critical error, replacing typical calls to System.err.println().
static Log	getInstance() Returns the singleton instance of this class.
static void	info(java.lang.String logString) Logs a text string at INFO_LEVEL
static boolean	isLoggingEnabledFor(int loggingLevel) Passthrough method to quick check if you should bother constructing a log message to log at a particular logging level.
static void	logString(java.lang.String logString, int errorLevel) Logs a text string at the logging level specified.
static void	trace(java.lang.String logString) Logs a text string at TRACE_LEVEL
static void	warning(java.lang.String logString) Logs a text string at WARNING_LEVEL

Field Detail

singleton

protected static Log singleton

Provides the class variable for the Singleton pattern, to keep track of the one and only instance of this class.

Constructor Detail

SecurityLog

protected SecurityLog()

Protect the default constructor, this class uses a Singleton pattern. If you need to access the Singleton instance of the class, DON'T make this public, instead use the getInstance() method!

Method Detail

getInstance

public static Log getInstance()

Returns the singleton instance of this class.

logString

public static void logString(java.lang.String logString,
                             int errorLevel)

Logs a text string at the logging level specified. This method is used when your code needs to parameterize the logging level. Otherwise you probably should use the err(), warning(), info(), detail(), or trace() methods below, they will be less verbose in your code.

criticalError

public static void criticalError(java.lang.String logString)

Logs a text string at CRITICAL_ERROR_LEVEL This method provides the implementation for a quick accessor to log a critical error, replacing typical calls to System.err.println().

error

public static void error(java.lang.String logString)

Logs a text string at ERROR_LEVEL This method provides the implementation for a quick accessor to log a critical error, replacing typical calls to System.err.println().

warning

public static void warning(java.lang.String logString)

Logs a text string at WARNING_LEVEL

info

public static void info(java.lang.String logString)

Logs a text string at INFO_LEVEL

detail

public static void detail(java.lang.String logString)

Logs a text string at DETAIL_LEVEL

trace

public static void trace(java.lang.String logString)

Logs a text string at TRACE_LEVEL

isLoggingEnabledFor

public static boolean isLoggingEnabledFor(int loggingLevel)

Passthrough method to quick check if you should bother constructing a log message to log at a particular logging level.
