FileHandlerpublic class FileHandler extends StreamHandler Simple file logging Handler.
The FileHandler can either write to a specified file,
or it can write to a rotating set of files.
For a rotating set of files, as each file reaches a given size
limit, it is closed, rotated out, and a new file opened.
Successively older files are named by adding "0", "1", "2",
etc into the base filename.
By default buffering is enabled in the IO libraries but each log
record is flushed out when it is complete.
By default the XMLFormatter class is used for formatting.
Configuration:
By default each FileHandler is initialized using the following
LogManager configuration properties. If properties are not defined
(or have invalid values) then the specified default values are used.
- java.util.logging.FileHandler.level
specifies the default level for the Handler
(defaults to Level.ALL).
- java.util.logging.FileHandler.filter
specifies the name of a Filter class to use
(defaults to no Filter).
- java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter
specifies the name of a Formatter class to use
(defaults to java.util.logging.XMLFormatter)
- java.util.logging.FileHandler.encoding
the name of the character set encoding to use (defaults to
the default platform encoding).
- java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit
specifies an approximate maximum amount to write (in bytes)
to any one file. If this is zero, then there is no limit.
(Defaults to no limit).
- java.util.logging.FileHandler.count
specifies how many output files to cycle through (defaults to 1).
- java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern
specifies a pattern for generating the output file name. See
below for details. (Defaults to "%h/java%u.log").
- java.util.logging.FileHandler.append
specifies whether the FileHandler should append onto
any existing files (defaults to false).
A pattern consists of a string that includes the following special
components that will be replaced at runtime:
- "/" the local pathname separator
- "%t" the system temporary directory
- "%h" the value of the "user.home" system property
- "%g" the generation number to distinguish rotated logs
- "%u" a unique number to resolve conflicts
- "%%" translates to a single percent sign "%"
If no "%g" field has been specified and the file count is greater
than one, then the generation number will be added to the end of
the generated filename, after a dot.
Thus for example a pattern of "%t/java%g.log" with a count of 2
would typically cause log files to be written on Solaris to
/var/tmp/java0.log and /var/tmp/java1.log whereas on Windows 95 they
would be typically written to C:\TEMP\java0.log and C:\TEMP\java1.log
Generation numbers follow the sequence 0, 1, 2, etc.
Normally the "%u" unique field is set to 0. However, if the FileHandler
tries to open the filename and finds the file is currently in use by
another process it will increment the unique number field and try
again. This will be repeated until FileHandler finds a file name that
is not currently in use. If there is a conflict and no "%u" field has
been specified, it will be added at the end of the filename after a dot.
(This will be after any automatically added generation number.)
Thus if three processes were all trying to log to fred%u.%g.txt then
they might end up using fred0.0.txt, fred1.0.txt, fred2.0.txt as
the first file in their rotating sequences.
Note that the use of unique ids to avoid conflicts is only guaranteed
to work reliably when using a local disk file system. |

Constructors Summary |
---|
public FileHandler()Construct a default FileHandler. This will be configured
entirely from LogManager properties (or their default values).
checkAccess();
configure();
openFiles();
| public FileHandler(String pattern)Initialize a FileHandler to write to the given filename.
The FileHandler is configured based on LogManager
properties (or their default values) except that the given pattern
argument is used as the filename pattern, the file limit is
set to no limit, and the file count is set to one.
There is no limit on the amount of data that may be written,
so use this with care.
if (pattern.length() < 1 ) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException();
}
checkAccess();
configure();
this.pattern = pattern;
this.limit = 0;
this.count = 1;
openFiles();
| public FileHandler(String pattern, boolean append)Initialize a FileHandler to write to the given filename,
with optional append.
The FileHandler is configured based on LogManager
properties (or their default values) except that the given pattern
argument is used as the filename pattern, the file limit is
set to no limit, the file count is set to one, and the append
mode is set to the given append argument.
There is no limit on the amount of data that may be written,
so use this with care.

this.append = append;
openFiles();
| public FileHandler(String pattern, int limit, int count)Initialize a FileHandler to write to a set of files. When
(approximately) the given limit has been written to one file,
another file will be opened. The output will cycle through a set
of count files.
The FileHandler is configured based on LogManager
properties (or their default values) except that the given pattern
argument is used as the filename pattern, the file limit is
set to the limit argument, and the file count is set to the
given count argument.
The count must be at least 1.

been written to one file, another file will be opened. The
output will cycle through a set of count files.
The FileHandler is configured based on LogManager
