A TextOrGUIHandler publishes log records to:

• In text mode, either:

  • System.out for lower Levels.
• In GUI mode, the pop-up Error Console, but also duplicates SEVERE and WARNING messages to System.err.

The formatter used is a XinapseFormatter.

Method Details

setLevel

public void setLevel(Level level)

Overrides:

setLevel in class Handler

publish

public void publish(LogRecord logRecord)

Publishes a LogRecord, provided the record passes all tests for being loggable.

Most applications do not need to call this method directly. Instead, they will use a Logger, which will create LogRecords and distribute them to registered handlers.

This implementation of publish calls flush() for every request to publish a record, so they appear immediately.

Specified by:

publish in class Handler

Parameters:

logRecord - the log event to be published.

Forces any data that may have been buffered to the underlying output devices, but does not close System.out or System.err.
