Field Details

encoder

protected Encoder<E> encoder

It is the encoder which is ultimately responsible for writing the event to an OutputStream.

lock

protected final ReentrantLock lock

All synchronization in this class is done via the lock object.

Constructor Details

OutputStreamAppender

public OutputStreamAppender()

Method Details

getOutputStream

public OutputStream getOutputStream()

The underlying output stream used by this appender.

Returns:

start

public void start()

Checks that requires parameters are set and if everything is in order, activates this appender.

Specified by:

start in interface LifeCycle

Overrides:

start in class UnsynchronizedAppenderBase<E>

setLayout

public void setLayout(Layout<E> layout)

append

protected void append(E eventObject)

Specified by:

append in class UnsynchronizedAppenderBase<E>

stop

public void stop()

Stop this appender instance. The underlying stream or writer is also closed.

Stopped appenders cannot be reused.

Specified by:

stop in interface LifeCycle

Overrides:

stop in class UnsynchronizedAppenderBase<E>

closeOutputStream

protected void closeOutputStream()

Close the underlying OutputStream.

setOutputStream

public void setOutputStream(OutputStream outputStream)

Sets the @link OutputStream} where the log output will go. The specified OutputStream must be opened by the user and be writable. The OutputStream will be closed when the appender instance is closed.

Parameters:

outputStream - An already opened OutputStream.

writeOut

protected void writeOut(E event)
                 throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

subAppend

protected void subAppend(E event)

Actual writing occurs here.

Most subclasses of WriterAppender will need to override this method.

Since:

0.9.0

getEncoder

public Encoder<E> getEncoder()

setEncoder

public void setEncoder(Encoder<E> encoder)

isImmediateFlush

public boolean isImmediateFlush()

setImmediateFlush

public void setImmediateFlush(boolean immediateFlush)
