Detailed Description

Appenders may delegate their error handling to ErrorHandlers.

Error handling is a particularly tedious to get right because by definition errors are hard to predict and to reproduce.

Please take the time to contact the author in case you discover that errors are not properly handled. You are most welcome to suggest new error handling policies or criticize existing policies.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void error ( const LogString message,
const std::exception &  e,
int  errorCode 
) const
pure virtual

Equivalent to the error(const String&, helpers::Exception&, int, spi::LoggingEvent&) with the the event parameteter set to null.

Implemented in FallbackErrorHandler, and OnlyOnceErrorHandler.

virtual void error ( const LogString message) const
pure virtual

This method is normally used to just print the error message passed as a parameter.

Implemented in FallbackErrorHandler, and OnlyOnceErrorHandler.

virtual void error ( const LogString message,
const std::exception &  e,
int  errorCode,
const LoggingEventPtr event 
) const
pure virtual

This method is invoked to handle the error.

Parameters
messageThe message assoicated with the error.
eThe Exption that was thrown when the error occured.
errorCodeThe error code associated with the error.
eventThe logging event that the failing appender is asked to log.

Implemented in FallbackErrorHandler, and OnlyOnceErrorHandler.

virtual void setAppender ( const AppenderPtr appender)
pure virtual

Set the appender for which errors are handled.

This method is usually called when the error handler is configured.

Implemented in FallbackErrorHandler, and OnlyOnceErrorHandler.

virtual void setBackupAppender ( const AppenderPtr appender)
pure virtual

Set the appender to fallback upon in case of failure.

Implemented in FallbackErrorHandler, and OnlyOnceErrorHandler.

virtual void setLogger ( const LoggerPtr logger)
pure virtual

Add a reference to a logger to which the failing appender might be attached to.

The failing appender will be searched and replaced only in the loggers you add through this method.

Parameters
loggerOne of the loggers that will be searched for the failing appender in view of replacement.

Implemented in FallbackErrorHandler, and OnlyOnceErrorHandler.
