Module org.refcodes.logger.alt.async

Package org.refcodes.logger.alt.async

Class AsyncLogger<T>

java.lang.Object

org.refcodes.logger.alt.async.AsyncLogger<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the Record instances managed by the Logger.

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.refcodes.component.Destroyable, org.refcodes.logger.LogDecorator, org.refcodes.logger.Logger<T>, org.refcodes.logger.LoggerAccessor.LoggerMutator<org.refcodes.logger.Logger<T>>

public class AsyncLogger<T>
extends Object
implements org.refcodes.logger.Logger<T>, org.refcodes.component.Destroyable, org.refcodes.logger.LoggerAccessor.LoggerMutator<org.refcodes.logger.Logger<T>>

The AsyncLogger uses the asynchronous patter to forward Logger functionality to an encapsulated Logger instance.

Internally a log line queue (holding Record instances to be logged) as well a daemon thread (taking elements from the log line queue) are used to decouple the encapsulated Logger instance from the asynchronous AsyncLogger.

A given number of retries are approached in case there is an overflow of the log line queue; this happens when the queue is full the encapsulated Logger instance cannot take the next Record in time.

To avoid a building up of the log line queue, eventually causing an out of memory, log lines not being taken into the log line queue within the given number of retries, them log lines are dismissed. In such a case a warning with a LogPriority.WARN is printed out.
