Java logging:filters

You can set a on Filter a Logger . A Filter can filter out log messages, meaning decide if the message gets logged or not. Filters is represented by the Java interfacejava.util.logging.Filter

Example of setting a on Filter a Logger :

Filter filter = new Myfilter (); Logger1.setfilter (filter);

The Filter interface is defined like this:

Public interface Filter {public    boolean isloggable (LogRecord record);}

If isLoggable() The method returns False, the is not LogRecord logged. If The method returns True, the is LogRecord forwarded to the Handler ' s of the given Logger .

To create a you Filter must implement that interface. Here are a very simple example implementation:

public class Myfilter implements Filter {public    boolean isloggable (LogRecord record) {        return false;    }}

This filter rejects the all messages. Of course a very useful filter. You would probably inspect the and make LogRecord a decision based on that. You can learn more about LogRecord the the the text on the LogRecord, and the JavaDoc too.

For a discussion of what Filter ' s work within Logger the hierarchy, see the text on the Logger hierarchy.
